2100-MAX upgrade 24.03 to 24.11 failed
-
It looks to hang on my NVMe drive, that works in the old versions
-
You have a backed up config, right ?
Re install from scratch, use the new installer, or TAC a firmware for the 2100.
Meanwhile, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. -
Mmm, it does look to be hitting an issue in the nvme driver.
You are almost certainly the only 2100 user with an NVMe drive. Including anyone at Netgate!
Does it boot past that if you disconnect the drive?
-
@stephenw10 I would have to take it apart to disconnect it. I will try that soon. Like try to disconnect it and let the software install complete and reconnect it?
-
@JonathanLee can't you disable the nvme driver using a hint?
-
hint.nvme.0.disabled="1" ?? Add this to system tuneable and restart ?
-
Yes, that should work. Or run at the loader prompt:
set hint.nvme.0.disabled=1 boot -
@stephenw10 will I be able to restore the driver after the install or has the NVMe driver been removed for the 2100
-
The driver has not been removed. It looks like there is a bug/regression in the driver but since you're the only user you're only person who has hit it. It will probably fail again if you enable it. But it might not if it;s something specific to the upgrade....
-
@stephenw10 I will have to wait until the end of the semester to test again it malformed the data on the boot environment after also. So, I had to use another one I have multiples of them in case a test failed glad I made some, I am so thankful for boot environments, it failed I was up in 3 mins after I got a term session going again.
