SG-1000 BAD update 07/10/2017

Hi All,
Over the weekend I install latest 2.4.0RC update which put my device in unhappy state, in the end I discovered that the pkg folder on server had been renamed .BAD.

_Repository pfSense-core missing. 'pkg update' required

Error updating repositories!
Netgate SG-1000 - Serial: XX_

I can now only connect via Serial connection. I waited until last night when the packages were available again, now the error above no longer appears although
I have a different one seen below.

pkg: Unable to determine ABI
pkg: Cannot parse configuration file!
pkg: Unable to determine ABI
pkg: Cannot parse configuration file!
ERROR: It was not possible to identify which pfSense kernel is installed
Netgate SG-1000 - Serial: XX

If I open shell and run pkg update manually I get

[2.4.0-RC][root@drawbridge.acomalocal]/root: pkg update -f
Child process pid=32940 terminated abnormally: Segmentation fault

also tried restoring previous configs

I don't know what to do to fix this, can anybody provide some guidance?
Regards

The best course of action would be to reinstall.

You could try something like this first:

pkg-static update -f; pkg-static upgrade -f

But reinstalling from a current recovery image and then updating again would be faster.

Ok thanks I will try this. Is it easy to copy over my old config? I don't want to have to re-configure everything from scratch.
Many Thanks

If you have a local backup, yes. If you do not have a local backup, try to get connected to the GUI to use Diagnostics > Backup/Restore, or even scp/ssh on the current system and see if you can download /conf/config.xml from the box
