24.03 ppoe

Cyber100

how can i boot to 24.03 environment if i have an ppoe connection?

it gets stuck at the loading stage and offers to boot back to 23.09.1 since there is no way to see the netgate server.

If you are upgrading that should be no problem. How exactly is it failing?

Cyber100

@stephenw10 When loading, everything gets stuck on the dialogue that it is impossible to load 24.03, do you want to load on 23.09.1? this is if the wan is configured as ppoe. If you make it static, then everything loads normally. I have a legal PFSense license and I have not changed the network equipment.

So this is trying to clean install from the Net Installer?

Upgrading should not matter what the WAN connection type is.

Do you have a screenshot?

@stephenw10 this is an upgrade from 23.09.1 now there is only a screenshot of boot environment.

stephenw10

Ok, I wouldn't expect any problem upgrading to 24.03. Where does the upgrade fail? What error is shown?

do you want to load on 23.09.1? is not a message I've ever seen, I'm not sure what could generate it.

@stephenw10 Okay I'll take a photo for you tomorrow.

@stephenw10 sorry for the photo quality

stephenw10

Ah, interesting. That's a bug. It's nothing to do with PPPoE or connecting to our servers.

Do you have a full width photo of that showing the complete error message?

Or better the actual output text from a serial console?

It appears to be choking on this function:

/* override php memory limit */
$php_memory_limit = config_get_path('system/php_memory_limit', 0);
if (($php_memory_limit >= 128) && ($php_memory_limit <= get_php_max_memory())) {
    ini_set("memory_limit", config_get_path('system/php_memory_limit') . "M");
}

Do you have a custom php memory size set in System > Advanced > Misc?
