Can someone help me please. I have the same problem. Please wait while the update system initializes i am now on 2.4.5-RELEASE-p1 Do i need to update to 2.5.0 ??

@breusshe I ended up finding a setting that was different between my old vpn setup and the vpn company setup for 2.5. I changed that and everything suddenly worked. I still can't really explain why though. The entire time my VPN would connect but it did not appear to route traffic. No log entries that I could find that told me what was happening on that end either.

@svengru said in Clean install of 21.02 on ZFS filesystem not booting: I am running ZFS in UEFI. To answer @johnpoz question: Do a normal install using the USB stick and select ZFS. At the end of the process, it will ask if you want to make changes to the system installed. The fault answer is "NO". Select "YES" and you will get to the shell. In the sell you can edit /boot/default.conf using vi and add the line to it. If vi is not a tool you like than the following should do the same: echo 'zfs_load="YES"' >> /boot/loader.conf I confirm that running this command in the shell at the end of the installation worked well for me, and enabled me to perform a clean install of 21.02-p1 with ZFS on my SG-5100. echo 'zfs_load="YES"' >> /boot/loader.conf

No it's not easy as it requires downgrading FreeBSD. re: IPv6 see https://forum.netgate.com/topic/160952/ipv6-no-gateway-after-2-5-upgrade/17 for a possible workaround.

@steelcitycolt said in Can’t Boot after 2.5 Upgrade: correctly I'm assuming you've tried it a couple times by now. No idea what hardware you're running, but you might want to take a peek in the BIOS to see if there is anything ... frisky ... that needs to be disabled. I know I've had to disable a few oddball and unnecessary CPU power save features, any kind of 'auto' support that is supposed to help windows load on a machine, etc.

@lt1360hp You may need to inch forward on your restore using the selective restore options on the "Backup & Restore" page. Take what you need, leave the rest. Then install packages manually from the new install. [image: 1614451274840-0623ae4d-b71c-4e46-98d1-15159396a511-image.png]

@fireodo yep, great job to all the developers. thanks

@gertjan In that case apply the Last Resort option. now i have to it crash And no longer works

@internetxs I had some issues with my 5100 and wireguard. Decided to just do a fresh install of 21.02 (I had updated my 2.4.5p1). Since doing so, I've had no issues.

I tried it again with a copy of the original VM. Still the same error. Seems to be an incompatibility issue with Proxmox or their Bios.

Thank you for all the input. "Network is unreachable" got me thinking of the GW settings. The FW have dual WAN with policy-based routing and the default GW was set to "Automatic". After I manually selected a WAN interface as the default gateway, the FW managed to get information about the new 2.5 version. Thanks for all the input and help!

You couldn't have, one of a couple things must have happened: The USB stick didn't actually get written with 2.5.0 for one reason or another Your disk, if it's an SSD or similar media, has failed into a read-only mode and the writes from the installation didn't actually happen on the disk, so it's still running the previous version. The second reason could also explain why the upgrade failed. There are other potential causes but they all center around the hardware in the unit, not the installation image itself.

@teamits said in SG-1100 - No upgrade prompt: @bmeeks This thread sounds like the issue you ran into in the (unrelated to this) Redmine update you just posted. Yeah, sounds similar. I'm only working with my SG-1100 to help Netgate sort out a weird bug with Snort and Suricata on ARM hardware (specifically the SG-3100, but it may apply to the SG-1100 as well, so that's what I'm going to test with).

I just saw in "messages from the pfSense team" in Thread "pfSense Plus and SG-3100" that the missing packages are not a "fault". As far as I understand, the pfSense team has removed the packages because 20.12 has a problems with nat on the SG-3100 (this is one of the problems I have with 20.12). So I think with a fixed 20.12 the problem with the "no longer can check for updates" will automatically disappear as soon as the pfSense team will provide the fixed version.

@nollipfsense Truth. Glad you got it sorted.

This new version is now working and appears to be stable. I can now use pfBlockerNG without getting frequent Google Chrome certificate errors. And the Amazon app on my phone no longer crashes when pfBlockerNG is enabled. I had some initial issues out of the gate with NordVPN with this new upgrade. However, it was quickly resolved after a clean install of 2.5/ restored 2.4.5 config in 2.5 and unchecked "enable data encryption negotiation." in openvpn. I'm now with glee...Thanks Netgate for this new upgrade!!
