Upgrade to 2.4 killed my SG-2220
-
Hi
Sorry for the delay, I'm fighting my SG-2220. ;)
I ran the upgrade from 2.3.4 to 2.4 from the GUI.
Before anyone here wrote, I found a 2.3.4 file and mounted it. Now it's back.
I'm sorry for not beeing able to answer questions about files and such, everything is erased now.
New problem …. My backup conf's is not in sync with the SG-2220 now.
It want to download packages,- but not before I've upgraded to 2.4 it says :DWARNING: Current pkg repository has a new OS major version.
pfSense should be upgraded before doing any other
operation
FailedMe and my SG is not BFF's right now ;)
Upgrading via USB, as Jim says ...
What does it ask for here?:
Mounting from ufs:/dev/ufs/FreeBSD_Install failed with error 19.
Loader variables:
vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:/dev/ufs/FreeBSD_Install
vfs.root.mountfrom.options=ro,noatimeManual root filesystem specification:

Yes, the problem with not able to install packages is biting me with an erroneous 2.3.x installation, too. Not being able to recover those is a real showstopper atm!

Yup, it's points to a direction of only running pfSense virtualized.
Blows up … roll back ... no problems. Wait for bug fixes.
If this was a customer 500 miles away, and I remote upgraded, I would be in trouble now.I just really fancy pfSense hardware, high quality.

Same issue here.. Ran the upgrade from the GUI on my SG-2220
Trying to rebuild from the USB stick right now on site.
Can someone tell me which image I should be using?
-
Use the Netgate ADI labeled memstick.

Take a backup of the config before you upgrade so you are not trying to restore a config from a LATER version on an older version. That is not and has never been supported.

Hi again
After much fumbling, I'm back to 2.3.4
Now I get this message in promt
[2.3.4-RELEASE][root@pfSense-Konge.localdomain]/root: pfSense-upgrade -4
Shared object "libssl.so.8" not found, required by "pkg"
Shared object "libssl.so.8" not found, required by "pkg"
ERROR: It was not possible to identify which pfSense kernel is installedNow, what's that all about?
-
It got my SG-2440 too.
Did an usb install and everything is back up now.
Don't forget to install the Netgate_Coreboot_Upgrade

Thanks oppland
But part of the problem is, that in the package section I got this message:
Unable to retrieve package information.
It simply won't tell anything, search anything,- but is connected to the internet, it really want to test me :)

Reporting in…
My standalone SG2440 upgrade failed, too. The GUI said upgrade failed and the box became unresponsive. After digging up a console cable and driver, I bounced it to see a bunch of PHP library errors. I was up and running in a little less than an hour, after burning a stick with the latest release.
I've got a bunch of other boxen to upgrade. How do I tell what broke? I've got the uprade_log.txt, but nothing's obvious so far.
