Mmm, I don't think that is the same issue. Your device is rebooting but fails to find a boot device. That bug refers to a failure mode where it never tries to reboot after shuting down. Though it's clearly similar.

@froussy said in Netgate 7100 with SFP+ module: server room at 17 degree celcius? My room is about 23c and mine was getting in the high 80's. With the fan it is in the mid 60's. So for you, a solid maybe, watch the temps.

Yes. But not that device because it's SATA. The 4200 only supports NVMe drives.

I would reinstall 25.07 clean and restore the config into it if you have any doubt. As long as you have the config file and a recovery image on a memstick you will be able to recover so I would probably try upgrading first. The Device Tree Blob (DTB) is a file that ARM devices use to define the hardware present to the OS. The DTB file is present in the EFI System Partion (ESP). It's loaded into from there memory and passed to the OS by uboot.

@marcosm @stephenw10 Yes, I tried a power brick with a similar power rating as an initial troubleshooting step.

The uboot commands sound somehow familiar to me, but actually I cant remember if I needed to do so. I cant even remember which version of pfSense was the curretn at this time when adding the m.2 SATA, 21.x or 22.x? Regards

@andrew_cb Thanks Andrew, yes cross-posted to reddit as well.

Yup it's a display issue if the system creates a log entry with no host name: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/15411 You can just wait for the offending entry to move off the displayed logs.

@stbellcom said in 6100 Failed eMMC replaced with NVme but now no longer reboots: so we went the next drastic step and that is remove the eMMC from the board. Got any pictures of this process, that show the location of the eMMC chip(s) or tips for someone who wants to try it?

I can confirm the Netgate 1100 runs very well with dual WAN, and failover takes but a moment. In my case FTTP (300/50) + LTE (30/10 typical but an upcoming provider swap may improve that). No issues with throughput or performance. Given your intended deployment I see you might end up with double- (or even triple-) NAT. This may cause you issues with throughput because of fragmentation/retries due to the squeezing of the MTU size with adding so many headers. Also, one lesson learned from having a radio-based element in the WAN setup - in my case LTE, but probably applies to Starlink, too* - dial-up the latency numbers on the gateway monitoring. Ping times may grow to over 2000ms under load so we don't want the gateway monitor to think it's down just 'cause it's busy! (the only Starlink I have access to is in a production environment. I don't think my colleagues would be happy if I 'borrowed' it just to test a hunch)

@ddbnj Solved it. I removed an interface still pointing to the SFP. New environments are error free now.

Nice.

@stephenw10 Thanks for letting me know there were backend issue, I think it would be helpful if Netgate posted an announcement when there are issues, maybe some details, and an ETA to restore service. It would save a little headache for some of us.

The problem is solved; it was indeed the network cable that had a loose connection. It's in the trash! Thank you all for your help.

@raspier The 2100-MAX runs Snort really well but it wont do SO objects. It does everything else. See Snort SO rules I have a paid subscription with a code and everything but the SO rules never populate do they show up on your 1100? [image: 1752276895928-screenshot-2025-07-11-at-16.34.49-resized.png] "Your Netgate 2100-MAX uses an ARM64 CPU (Marvell ARMADA). Important Limitation: Snort SO rules are precompiled binary modules. Cisco/Sourcefire only provides precompiled SO rules for x86_64, not ARM. That means SO rules are not available on the Netgate 2100, 3100, 1100, or any ARM-based device." So how does your show up???

Does it boot from USB if you insert a drive with the installer on it? That looks like it's unable to from eMMC and eventually fails through to the EFI shell as the only bootable option.

@w0w $65 plus tax and shipping.

ty! @stephenw10
