      Hi,

      I just tried to auto update pfSense to version 2.1.1 but I got a SHA256 error.

      Is this a generic problem?

      Best Regards

        My update went fine. It's most likely a bad download, have you tried again?

          Thank you for letting me know that it is not a generic problem. Yes I tried 5 times with same difference in SHA256 values between download and defined.

            You didn't mention which version you are trying to upgrade? 32 or 64 bit? Normal or nanobsd? I just upgraded my VM from 2.1 beta to 2.1.1 (64 bit normal image) without issues too.

                        So I downloaded the image manual and run a SHA256 on it. It looks like the defined SHA256 is wrong on the 2g version

                        Best Regards

                          Looking at http://updates.pfsense.org/_updaters/amd64/ you can see that the nanobsd images haven't updated yet. The files are from September.

                            I see but pfSense dash boards tells me there is an update and just clicked and ask for auto update.

                            So maybe there should be an extra check for platform in the System Information?

                            Thank you for identifying the root cause!
