SG-1100 Upgrade to Netgate pfSense Plus 22.01-RELEASE failure

[fadushin]

My SG-1100 appears to have had problems upgrading to 22.01 (from 20.02 -- erm, I think). It looks like some of the libraries did not upgrade properly.

The symptoms are that I can't get an IP address assigned when connected to the SG-1100 via ethernet, and hence have no IP access to the device (hence no GUI).

I can attach to the device over micro-USB, but the only (?) thing I can do is get shell access, which I guess is great, but I have no idea what I can do from there. I don't have a menu config or anything, so I am guessing that got hosed as part of the upgrade.

Suggestions?

Here is the console output from the banner on.

@fadushin The safest thing is probably to open a free ticket at go.netgate.com and ask for the 1100 firmware. Then install that, and restore the config from backup. They usually respond quickly.

@steveits Thank you, I was able to get the latest firmware from Netgate and install it with little difficulty. Back up and running.
