          Hello,

          I'm having issues trying to update to v23.01 on my SG-1100 appliance. It gets stuck when fetching the new kernel image, then the device restarts itself. Haven't done any further troubleshooting just yet, but wondering what logs I should look into?

          Thanks!

            Mine all started working now. 2/2 done lunch time Central. Then nothing worked now 6/6 that failed most of the day are all working now. Must have been a repo meltdown of sorts.

                Must have been overloaded servers. Updated to 23.01 this morning and all is well.

                  @mtrimarchi I got same fatal error but instead file was pointing to avahi.inc. I had to restore 22.05 using backup boot environment.

                  I may try updating again after removing Avahi package.

                    Upgraded and machine will not boot. Network is hosed. How do I get back to 22.05?

                      ZFS Boot Environments got your back on this assuming you are using ZFS, not UFS. The upgrade would have created a snapshot for you automatically.

                          Kudos on an overall "smooth like butter" experience during the upgrade, guys and gals. Appreciate the work you put in on this fine product...

                            @rwurwin can you look at the upgrade log? And/or what does the console show?
                            There is https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/13967 for 1100/2100.

                            Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
                            When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

                                    If you’re saying you restarted it then you didn’t wait long enough and will likely have to reinstall. Or if it’s the boot loader problem I linked.

                                        Initially, I wanted to wait until morning.
                                        Like my favorite You-tuber always says "Let Mikey go first ...".

                                        But hey, I've ZFS, so I prepared a 'I was here' point with a click.
                                        Rebooted pfSense for good manners.
                                        Checked available disk space.
                                        Made a extra copy of the config.xml.

                                        I upgraded using the console, option 13, as this shows what happens, my terminal sessions are logged for 'later analyses' if needed.

                                        It was a no brainer.

                                          I just upgraded a backup/test machine - Hystou i5 .. Protecli (clone) w. 5 x EMx netcards.
                                          Upgraded wo. a hitch, including all packages 👍

                                          I only have Wan + Mgmt IF connected, so not really a good test.
                                          But it upgraded perfectly.

                                            I would say stay away
                                            breaks DNS resolver and pfblocker
                                            nothing but problems
                                            seems to randomly stop working
                                            pcap just says server failure
                                            nothing useful in logs or dns resolver status

                                            have another host that won't accept IPSEC connections
