Tue Nov 30 03:01:10 EST 2G nano update killed my net5501 !!!
-
Just wait for the next new snap. There was a bad commit (of mine :-) that slipped in.
-
No problem. I was just trying to give everyone a heads up so they would skip that build.
Thanks, Roy…
-
If only I would have read this first…. Doh!
-
The offending snapshots have been removed for a couple hours now. Should be replaced with good ones in a while. It's building the resized nano images now.
-
Just checked and the "Auto Update" window still shows this:
A new version is now available
Current version: 2.0-BETA4
 NanoBSD Size : 2g
   Built On: Mon Nov 29 19:32:34 EST 2010
  New version: Tue Nov 30 03:01:10 EST 2010Roy…

By "a while" I mean a few hours. Be patient, they'll upload when they're done.
-
I was only trying to point out the broken update was still available.
Roy…

No, it's not. The date file is there but the actual update has been removed. Can't download a file that has been rm'd from the server.
-
That's good to know.
Thanks!

Killed my Alix nano - could a kind soul help me figure out how to boot from the other slice or how to remount rw and fix the problem? I can't figure out what to do other than to once again take my box apart and reimage the firmware which will take me an hour or two.
Thanks!

Hook up a serial cable. At boot you get a menu:
1. pfSense
2. pfSense
Default: 1The default will be 1 or 2. To boot the alternate slice, just press the number that is not the default. (So if default is 1, press 2)
-
BTW, the serial cable needs to be a null modem/crossover cable.

EdHour or two? I downloaded the bad snapshot and rebuilt and was up and running in about 20 minutes max. I just reinstalled the image and restored my config that I ALWAYS have backed up. No biggie.
-
it seems like it takes an hour just to image a 2G CF. ;D

I'm back up using my serial cable to boot into option "2" (slice 2), thanks for the help! ;D
Yes, re-imaging the CF card would have taken quite a while… (I use the 4G image)
Cheers,

you might want to use "Diagnostics: NanoBSD" to copy your good boot slice over your bad one.

That snap killed my systems.
I reinstalled a old one and still need to reconfigure everything…
