      Go to Diagnostics > Command Prompt and enter

      touch /verbose_rc
      

      Then do the upgrade again.

      I need the console ouput during the reboot.

        OK

        -) Rollback to 23.09.1
        -) Upgrade to 24.03 beta

        • After reboot:

          You'll need to watch the boot at the console. I just need the end of it. Most likely what is happening is that you are actually booting into the new version but it's failing boot verification for some reason and automatically rolling back to the previous.

            OK, I carefully repeated the whole update process.
            I checked the boot sequence carefully and there is no upgrade attempt.
            The post upgrade 23.09.1->24.03 Beta system seems to boot from the snapshot related to 23.09.1 without even trying to upgrade.
            That is if I do not go to "play" with the BE ... if I go to force the snapshot, it starts correctly in 24.03.

              If I click, relative to the last line of this image, on... start from this snapshot (24.03b) the system restarts in 23.09.1

                  b7744534-c094-4702-a7fc-74c46f0b185a-immagine.png

                  I've just set a new default boot snapshot (change the star) .... I did not set a "one time boot mode"

                    After the upgrade is performed the new BE is marked temporary for the next boot so that if boot verification fails, the system automatically reboots back into the old BE.

                        Okay, but it doesn't make sense for this alert to appear... the system is running with the snapshot default_previous_20240302092838_20240305095307, the next is default_previous_20240302092838_20240305095307 (correctly, because it is the default) and the alert says... "this is a temporary boot", look the next from which the system will be rebooted is : default_previous_20240302092838_20240305095307 (that is what is now running).

                          what's the output of

                          bectl list
                          

                          When it's in that state?

                                I've just upgrade (again).

                                PfSense reboot on 24.03b.20240306.0600

                                Is set "temporary BE" on 24.03b.20240307.0536 but is fully ignored
