Open a TAC ticket and request it: https://www.netgate.com/tac-support-request

Or use the Net Installer to install 23.05.1. That has the required flashrom version.

@jimp Thankyou!

I have an M1 macbook and I could see the console menu but could not input anything. I tried multiple different USB-C Male to USB-A Female convertors with the supplied Netgate 2100 cable and no change.

To get out of the stuck screen session:

Ctrl-a, Ctrl-\

This works on my Macbook Pro M1 ~circa 2020 running Sonmoa 14.4.1

@stephenw10 Update was successful after removing old ZFS BE Snapshots ! Thanks !

@SteveITS Thank you so much. Manage to sort this out with Netgate TAC. Much appreciated

Were you able to resolve this?

@Gertjan

As I noted above, the first time I did it I connected the console cable after power up. Later I connected it before power up and I got a response then. That seemed to have solved the problem. Everything is working now.

Why does the looks of the box matter? Usually network equipment is out of sight anyway, atleat mine are... well, apart from WiFi Accesspoints, with those I can understand that the looks could matter, but I will choose an AP for its performace and features over it's looks.

But each to their own :)

@stephenw10

I can't believe it! I pulled the SG-1100 out of the e-waste bin and tried the other port and it worked!

Honestly shocked. I didn't think a port would fail so late in the process. Maybe some weird USB2/3 compatibility issue.

Thank you.

fsck doesn't run on ZFS. You shouldn't need to but you can scrub the zpool. See:
https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/troubleshooting/filesystem-check.html

For example:

[24.03-RC][root@1100-3.stevew.lan]/root: zpool status pool: pfSense state: ONLINE status: Some supported and requested features are not enabled on the pool. The pool can still be used, but some features are unavailable. action: Enable all features using 'zpool upgrade'. Once this is done, the pool may no longer be accessible by software that does not support the features. See zpool-features(7) for details. config: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM pfSense ONLINE 0 0 0 mmcsd0s3a ONLINE 0 0 0 errors: No known data errors [24.03-RC][root@1100-3.stevew.lan]/root: zpool scrub pfSense [24.03-RC][root@1100-3.stevew.lan]/root: zpool status pool: pfSense state: ONLINE status: Some supported and requested features are not enabled on the pool.

It can take a while but runs in the background.

Hmm, I though those were documented but I'm not seeing it now.

On both the combo ports and the 2.5G LAN ports the right LED lights green to indicate link and flashes to indicate data.
The left LED indicates the link speed. On the combo ports it is orange at 1G and green at 100M.
On the LAN ports it is green at 2.5G, Orange at 1G and off at 100M and 10M.

@Sergei_Shablovsky said in Will the transition to the Linux kernel bring the 3100 back to life?:

Of course this all not matter in case deeply inside Netgate take a decision to move on PROPERTY ROAD, where KPI&money income matter and open source community & user base USED ONLY AS NO-COST BETA-TESTERS.

Oh come on, based on recent years the evidence is that paying customers are being used as paying beta testers for the later released open source version ;)

Yup check old ZFS BE snaps.

I have the same question for the 4200 systems & the same rationale for wanting to know. So far the only info I could find is Intel's CPU specs at ark.intel.com where in the case of the 4200 they show the C1110 CPU's Tjunction as 100C. Intel's docs suggest that the CPU will throttle as temps rise, but that doesn't translate into a temp that we should alert on.

Ah, nice! Interesting, presenting like that is not the sort of thing I expect to be resolved by a reinstall. It's possible the required loader values were lost somehow and would have been restored though.

Good result. 👍

24.03 will alert you upgrade failures if it exhausts the drive space and automatically falls back to the last BE. So it's both easier to tell why it failed and much difficult to fail entirely!

@stephenw10 Thanks. I use WireGuard extensively so I will turn those on.

@capras12 yup, read through the instructions but there’s not much besides creating the usb stick.

@the-other
hey all,
wrote to netgate's service (and got an answer in like no time at all, great! > thanx @matthew at service)...
Everything is as it should be, with TAC lite it just shows...well...Community support.
Question answered, "problem" solved.
:)

@cshinn try using a different usb stick. Yes I know it doesn’t make sense.
