[SOLVED] 2.2.4 amd64 upgraded to 2.2.5 i386!
-
Hi there,
I remotely upgrade through webgui a APU amd64 2.2.4 pfSense full install.
All seemed to went fine until I discoved FreeBSD system packages installed myself not working anymore…
What a suprise, the system switch to i386 !
Any idea of what happened ?
How can I remotely revert to AMD64 ?
Thanks and regards

My guess would be that the firmware update was pointing at the i386 version.
As for remotely reverting. Have you look at System: Firmware Restore Full Backup tab?
You may also be able to do a Manual Update to get to the version you want.I have no experience at reverting from one version to another. So operate at you own risk. Those are just a couple of ideas you may want to check into.

You had the wrong update URL hard coded in your config. Go to System>Firmware, Updater Settings and uncheck "Use an unofficial server for firmware upgrades" and save. Then it'll pull the appropriate auto-update going forward.
To switch back, load the 64 bit full update file. You'll have to power cycle at the end, it can't run the 64 bit reboot binary on a 32 bit kernel.

You were true ! Thanks guys !
I think my updater url was wrong because the hardware was upgraded from i386 (Alix Nano) to amd64 (APU) a few month ago. And the config file store this information.
Everything is working as expected now ! Sorry for noise :)

Glad to hear it. 2.3 changes things there where switching architecture on upgrade won't happen as it won't let you do it, but in the mean time, if you restore a config cross-architecture, make sure you don't have that set before you upgrade the restored system.

Same problem as you.
To try to correct I have downloaded the Full Update 2.2.5 for amd64 tar ball.
I have run the manually update with the tgz file.
It's still in progress.
I'll keep in touch.Cyril
