    You alsomost certainly want a 2.7.2 memstick image. If that device has a serial console use the memstick serial image otherwise use the regular memstick image for a video console.

    I encountered an issue with my DNS settings, but surprisingly, my internet connection was still functioning. After resolving the DNS problem, I noticed that version 24.03 was available as an upgrade. While I'm aware that the 3100 model has reached its End of Life (EoL) status, I'm not particularly concerned since I don't use any of the packages that are no longer supported. Thanks for the assistance.

    @veptune said in PfSense : i get "cannot connect to installer daemon" when the install begin: cannot calculate the system NDI failed to load the system settings Ah, OK. It has no NICs it can even read the MAC address from. So, yes, you would need to add some NIC to allow that. What is the NIC in that?

    @stephenw10 Thanks for getting back to me so fast, for some reason on options in the menu worked and all external connectivity was lost. In the end, I downloaded the pfsense installer from Netgate and did a clean install, which seems to have solved everything and kept my config intact. Thankfully, all was not lost, bar some pride and some relationship points with the 'misses'. Problem solved, and all in all a simple enough fix! Thanks

    When it's ready. There are a lot of big changes in it and getting them working smoothly is taking time.

    Send me your NDI in chat and I'll check it. It would almost certainly have been the NIC change that caused it. Steve

    Yup I can remove it if you send me your NDI in chat. But you should be able to enable the CE branches and install that in the installer. Or use the legacy CE installer. Steve

    You can go straight to 23.01 but I would backup the config and reinstall clean from a version that old. It will ultimately be quicker and cleaner. https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/solutions/sg-5100/reinstall-pfsense.html Steve

    Hmm, the logs seem to show that it's the dhcpleases process. However that does not (yet) work with Kea. And it should not shutdown the DHCP server, it restarts the DNS server. However I would try disabling resolving dhcp leases in Unbound if it's still enabled. It should be disabled automatically when Kea is enabled.

    @stephenw10 well yes that. Plus ultimately the upgrade from 23.09 to 24.xx killed the OS which bricked the device.

    That's a library mismatch. At some point it has pulled in packages from a different version. If that happened at upgrade it's probably not an issue unless it reappears after clearing it. Those errors always show at upgrade but are usually suppressed and would not create a report. Steve

    I had the same problem. For me, it was a faulty console cable that caused the exactly same issue. With a different console cable, the problem did not occur.
