    Just as an FYI to anyone else finding this post, I ended up doing a backup and then a new re-install to the latest version. Imported my backup and I'm good to go with no more errors being seen.

    @patosawa Possibly you can install the screensavers from the proper FreeBSD project and activate them: FreeBSD Manual Pages > Screensaver However, non of them will be able to shut off the display. You can use blank screen at best, which will not provide any notable power savings. As mentioned, shutting off the screen is a hardware feature and usually notebooks do this when closing the lid. Possibly you can get a BIOS upgrade which has this ability.

    @gertjan Thanks for all that. I do make it a point to watch several tuts and read discussion groups about things before plunging in. I got it all set up and working, now I'm trying to learn to tweak it by assigning an IP address. pfSense is running smoothly now, haven't had any problems in the last day or two. Thanks for everyone's help!!

    Further to this issue, FYI the same problem did not present again, when later upgrading from pfSense v2.5.0 to the quickly following update v2.5.1, instead successfully progressing and completing without incident and all appears to be working without issue after update completion.

    @steveits thank you for the prompt reply. I have done it before but complete forgot how to request an image. I did the upgrade on 5 and 3 went smoothly. The two that had problems were stuck in upgrade for about 2 hours on one abs the other about 90 mins before I decided to manually intervene. Overall I guess some bugs are to be expected but mostly I am happy with Netgate hardware. Thanks again

    This looks like a bug yes. Check: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/11805#change-53054 And the following forum post: https://forum.netgate.com/topic/162924/to-2-5-1-or-not-that-is-the-question/65?_=1618838285034

    The upgrade process is an "online' activity. How can you download an upgrade if there are no interfaces == no network ?

    @brians Same issue here: https://forum.netgate.com/topic/162924/to-2-5-1-or-not-that-is-the-question/65?_=1618564501919 You can install 2.5.1 and import your config from 2.5.0, but a update should not mess with the boot device in the first place.

    @virgiliomi Same problem for me but on 21.02.2 (SG-1100) Although DNS seems to be working since the ntp log shows the server IP. I'm using 2 pools - us.pool.ntp.org & time.cloudflare.com Apr 15 14:35:53 ntpd 96301 Soliciting pool server 74.6.168.72 Apr 15 14:34:52 ntpd 96301 Soliciting pool server 2606:4700:f1::1 Apr 15 14:34:49 ntpd 96301 Soliciting pool server 162.159.200.1 It looks like it is also trying to try IPv6 occasionally even though I tried forcing IPv4 in NTP settings.
