2.1.5->2.2.2 system does not reboot after upgrade, requires power cycle
-
My issue was resolved by rebooting from web interface. I was not able to ssh into either device.
-
After upgrading today from 2.1.5 to 2.2.2 I am having this same issue. Cant reboot or halt system from the webgui and can't connect with SSH. Do you recommend power cycling the server or should i wait?
-
Waiting won't get you anywhere.
-
So the only answer here to force a reboot?
Does it let you reboot from the GUI after that?
I have four firewalls and I have to travel to get to all of them.

I have to say I don't find much "hilarity" in this. I don't think updates should be pushed out if they don't actually work as one would expect. I hope this gets fixed in a later release.

The 2.2.3 snapshots don't currently exhibit any of these symptoms, at least not for the scenarios I have tested. If others could try going from 2.1.x to 2.2.3 snapshots and posting the upgrade logs, it would be appreciated.

Hi Jimp,
I have tested upgrading with one of the latest nanoBSD development images (pfSense-2.2.3-DEVELOPMENT-4g-i386-nanobsd-vga-upgrade-20150623-1513.img). This upgraded my 2.1.5 (Soekris 6501-50 w/USB) without issue. The unit rebooted, re-installed packages and came up fine. It did leave the filesystem in RW mode, but a flip of the switch under the nanoBSD menu solves that. It also comes back as RO after a reboot.I just ran the "auto-updater" this morning with today's official release of 2.2.3. I upgraded two 2.2.2 units successfully and one 2.1.5 unit successfully, with no rebooting or hanging issues whatsoever. That is a better experience than the earlier versions. :)
Sorry to be ignorant, but from where can I retrieve the upgrade logs? I would like to help if you still need this information.

If it all worked fine then there isn't much to report now :-)
We fixed all the known issues we could find with upgrading, 2.2.3 should be a much better experience for everyone all-around.
The upgrade log is in /conf/upgrade_log.txt if you want to review it.

Cool, thanks. And thanks to the whole PFSense team for the most recent update!

Newbie here. Working through all things pfSense. This was one of them.
I put an old Dell laptop to use with pfSense for routing and radius functions. Had problem where, from the main console menu, when I choose reboot (option 5) it goes until it stops the system and the last message is the "Uptime…" then it just hangs. I have to force a hard power off.
Googled everything I could find, most folks suggested ACPI, so I went looking for it in the BIOS, but it's not there. While I was there I noticed that this system had AHCI enabled for the HD controller, which is fine for windows and intel parties, but I dont' think it helps in pfSense under freeBSD! Or am I wrong here ?
Anyway, I changed the HD controller function back to the Dell default of ATA, not thinking it was connected. When I booted and did a reboot, it worked.
For what it's worth, something about AHCI seems to mess with the reboot process. I'm running 2.2.5
