      I do have the same issue that the system cannot apply the update and falls back to the previous kernel during the update boot. See syslog below:

      pfsenseBoot_25.03b0610_20250612.txt

      Thank you for looking into this and for providing suggestions on how to proceed.

        Hmm, can I assume neither of you were running the June 6th build?

        That looks like a bug in the upgrade code that should be fixed. Hmm.

        @meelek I can see your ZFS zpool is named 'zroot'. @maverick_slo do you also have a non-default zpool name?

              Can you try running zpool status and zfs list?

                  Ah, I'm guessing that's an old install that has been upgraded for some time (years)?

                  That looks like the old ZFS layout we used when it was first introduced in the installer. That's why you're still hitting this issue.

                  Are you able to just reinstall? That's the easiest way to get to the new layout TBH.

                        Yup same thing there, it's missing some of the datasets we now use.

                        If you're seeing the upgrade available (which you are) then your NDI is seen as eligible for Plus. If you boot the installer it will offer you the available Plus versions. Including 25.03-Beta.

                          So that is the only option to perform a reinstallation followed by a config restore?

                            So what youre saying is that I will have to reinstall my 14 boxes across EU countries?

                            Weeeel nope.

                            I will migrate them to something else, what is able to be upgraded ... Geez.

                              I'm saying if it's a test box that's next to you then that is trivial and easiest way to get past it. But not if you have numerous remote devices obviously.

                              Let me see...

                                I'm working on a solution here. Ideally we will get it in the next beta
