@steveits I did get it working. Honestly I have no idea what happened, but I was finally -after many attempts- able to convince it to hard reset. From there, I got it all set up again, and yes, I did install the update as well. Thank you.

@stephenw10 said in [Downgrading Pfsense Netgate SG-3100 from 20.XX to 2.4.5.p1](/post/ An alternative to booting into single user mode is just to disconnect the WAN for the first boot after the restore and wait for the package re-install to fail. Problem I had with this was some of the packages would freeze up the whole process waiting for the version. And clearing the package lock won't help once you plug in the old WAN pfsense eagerly moves forward with some of the system packages. It seemed way faster to hit single user and be done with it but YMMV.

@cmlong89 just updated my system to zfs a short while ago. Very glad @jimp clarified that matter for me/us. Cannot overemphasize the value of having a good UPS that is adequate for your power needs. The number of people I know who would use a small UPS (meant only to allow you to quickly shut down a computer in the event of an outage) for multiple devices and then complain about bad run time or hard shutdowns always has perplexed me.

@stephenw10 said in Any way to trade in hardware?: Unfortunately there probably isn't, if it's outside 30 days. It is.

Yeah, the 2100 won't get you to 1Gbps. But see todays hardware announcement : https://www.netgate.com/blog/introducing-the-new-netgate-6100.html Steve

It may be having trouble checking for updates, there are ways to fix that on the documentation. You may also want to contact support to ensure you have installation media on hand in case a reinstall is better.

Got the correct image file from Netgate and a bit of help in troubleshooting, ended up the 2440 died during the upgrade process and nothing would revive it. Shiny new SG-3100 will be here later this week and until then I'll limp along on an antique HP from the spares closet stuffed with Ethernet cards.

Just for anyone else looking this is now fixed here: https://forum.netgate.com/post/987049 Steve

At some point (hopefully soon!) you will be able to upgrade the VM to Plus and then both would be using the same version. Of course you will still be unable to state sync between those as the interface types will be different. Steve

@stephenw10 Thank Steve, Yes this what I did, then I reloaded a previous configuration via the gui. The netgate support was gave me a great guidance. Thanks

@nicheath thank you. I have the same issues now. Trying to update from 21.02.2 to 21.05 ... I will try a cold boot to see if that fixes the issues.. (I have SG-1100).

I updated to 21.05 too, had no problems updating. Also applied the patch. Thanks for the help!

@langrock OK I checked your config there and it looks OK. I just tested again here though and it works fine, something odd is happening there. A pcap on the LAN whilst tying to pull a lease via the OPT port should show it though. Steve

@scottlindner said in SG-2220 install to boot from M.2?: Hopefully it doesn't apply to my SG-2220 I thought you might want to keep both installations. Because it seems logical to me, this could even be an extra redundancy. Yup - crazy thread , but you can see how little things depend on the things and this is the point of the description. and this is the essence of the Netgate documentation: [image: 1622880310900-9292433a-9c4d-42c1-945f-80d3934a9562-image.png]

@stephenw10 thanks

@johnpoz - the unit was off for a few months. When I turned it back on, the system stated it was up to date (via the system - update - system update). As I own two other Netgate models (SG-1100 and SG-2200), the models have pfSense Plus. I never a statement regarding hardware limit via the documentation site nor any release notes. As I am checking this forum post (for feedback) this morning, I checked the system update section. Today it is prompting me the upgrade is available. It took about 1 day to prompt there is an upgrade. The system has been upgraded to 21.05. Thank you for the responses.
