            not exact same behavior here…
            it actually installs but then does not come back up after reboot...

            does not matter if updated from webinterface or console.
            2.3-RELEASE (amd64) to 2.3.1 kills the slice.
            pfsense boot menu shows up, trys to load the kernel, fails and reboots...

            2.4.1-RELEASE (amd64) on Intel D2500CCE Board Intel Atom D2500 DC @1.86GHz, 2GB RAM, 64GB Transcend SSD370

              I have got the same problem with a watchguard firebox.

              I cannot upgrade to 2.31

              At the first try, i got the reply that the filesystem is dirty. I have cleaned it.

              And now everytime I try to upgrade i got the attached mesage at the attachment.

                  The same here …

                  CF 4GB Nano install.

                  I need a workaround to get this fixed.

                  Nobody with a solution for this? Devs?

                    I now have done the upgrade manually:

                    
                    pkg unlock pfSense-kernel-pfSense
                    pkg update -f
                    pkg upgrade -f
                    pkg lock pfSense-kernel-pfSense
                    reboot
                    
                    

                    At the moment I don't have any problems.

                      Mine fails with the following error when trying 'pkg unlock pfSense-kernel-pfSense'.

                      I get 'pkg: Error accessing the package database'.

                      I'm also using a 4GB NanoBSD install - Seems a few others are too.

                        Is the filesystem mounted read/write?

                        EDIT: If yes try

                        
                        pkg update -f
                        
                        

                        first.

                          This works fine here, but this is not the final solution, or?

                            Yes, with the Update to 3.1_1 I had the same problem.

                              Can also confirm I've managed to upgrade successfully to 2.3.1-P1-RELEASE via SSH.  Before the upgrade I disabled Permanent Read/Write in the web GUI.  Rebooted, re-enabled and the upgrade went smoothly.

                              ALIX 2C2 with a 4GB CF.

                              Many thanks

                                Thanx!

                                Same problem - fix works, except in the event your mounts are ro, you need to start with /etc/rc.conf_mount_rw:

                                /etc/rc.conf_mount_rw
                                pkg unlock pfSense-kernel-pfSense
                                pkg update -f
                                pkg upgrade -f
                                pkg lock pfSense-kernel-pfSense
                                reboot
                                

                                Done!  ;)

                                It seemed to take a lot longer than the UI - but maybe that's because you can see the progress of every pkg.
                                Cheers!

                                  No it takes longer because of the option -f. I think it should also work without it:

                                  
                                  pkg upgrade

                                    With it reinstalls alls packages. I did the upgrade to 2.3.1_1 without this option, and it worked also perfectly.
