      I suspect I may have found part of the issue people are seeing in this thread:

      https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/8495

      It's possible that your firewall never rebooted after updating and it's running half updated, if you run /etc/rc.reboot that will do most of the process but the last command fails, you can then safely run 'reboot' after to finish the job.

      For example:

      /etc/rc.reboot
      /sbin/reboot
      

      Once you're on a snap with the fix I just committed for that bug it will restart itself OK again.

        Ran the commands and my DHCP connection still isn't coming back.

        May 3 17:12:25 php-fpm 324 /interfaces.php: The command '/sbin/dhclient -c /var/etc/dhclient_opt1.conf igb2 > /tmp/igb2_output 2> /tmp/igb2_error_output' returned exit code '15', the output was ''

          I just updated to 2.4.4 built on Thu May 03 18:39:20 CDT 2018 and it's generating a crash report, which I sent.

          I'm still having dhcpv6 problems. I put wireshark on it and there do not seem to be any ipv6 messages at all.

                I reverted to 2.4.3 release and it works fine.

                  Same here, DNS Resolver and DHCP not starting after update, update never rebooted and ran half updated for 1-2 days, until i reverted back to stabile 2.4.3 with no problems.

                    I can replicate that, but it appears harmless: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/8497

                      Please read the thread. That has been addressed.

                            I am still having issues with the new snapshot (5/4) too. I have 3 WAN connections and the two statics still seem to be working, but the appliance I have screeches to a halt after upgrading. I also cannot get a DHCP address on the third connection. Attached is the errors I get on initial boot and sequential reboots result the same.

                              There is no "this issue" in this thread. You need to provide details about exactly what is not working, with console and/or log entries related to the issue.

                                Please at least post the DHCP log and any dhclient entries from it, and anything that looks relevant in the system or routing logs as well.

                                I can't replicate any DHCP client issues here, mine are all working OK.

                                  Unfortunately I had to rebuild it so I could post this so I only have my syslog to go back to. I am using the 2.4.4-DEVELOPMENT (amd64) built on Thu Apr 26 14:32:50 CDT 2018 FreeBSD 11.1-STABLE snapshot to restore to and the C2758 board you used to use. When I upgrade to the latest snapshot, I am unable to do much of anything with the appliance. It looks like it just keeps bouncing the interface for that wan.

                                    JimP, I can send you a 4m syslog from the time of upgrade if you would like.

                                    after thumbing through more of the syslog, it seems pretty consistent on these repeated lines:

                                      I will have to roll back to April Build until this is fixed.

                                      My DHCP connection has the same errors as the poster above.

                                        Iv been trying every new development build (didnt try 5-9) and the issue seems to keep happening. I too have to roll back to the last April build

                                        What's odd is I ran a virtual appliance and pfsense ran fine in it. Im starting to wonder if its hardware compatibility issues. Im using a quotom box

                                          I don't doubt there is a problem here but I need a lot more detail than "it's broken" or "the same errors". Post the errors (even if they are duplicates), log entries, route table contents, anything you can come up with. I need to know exactly what isn't working, with detail. For example: interfaces missing addresses, missing or incorrect routes, services not running (exactly which ones are not running, and any relevant logs from them), and so on.

                                          I still can't replicate any issues here in my lab. We might have one person here who is able to replicate this but they're still testing to find out if it's similar, too soon to say if it's related.

                                            @tmushy:

                                            Iv been trying every new development build (didnt try 5-9) and the issue seems to keep happening. I too have to roll back to the last April build

                                            What's odd is I ran a virtual appliance and pfsense ran fine in it. Im starting to wonder if its hardware compatibility issues. Im using a quotom box

                                            me too ..

                                            pfsense start normal , but no internet connection in pfsense or lan …

                                            in logs a lot of  "route has not been found""

                                            this happening after update pfsense 2.4 in 05/09 , how you roll back to a old version ?

                                            thanks
