            I'd just reinstall 2.5.0 with the recover config.xml Option.
            Or reinstall 2.5.0 an recover your config.xml via WebGUI.

              webgui not available as it doesnt even want to give out ip addresses, nor obtain any from the ISP

                Looks like it didn't upgrade completely, or some part of it failed. Look in /conf/upgrade_log.latest.txt and /conf/upgrade_log.txt to see if they have any clues.

                To recover:

                dhclient xx0 where xx0 is your WAN interface

                Then pfSense-upgrade -dy and let it complete the process.

                Might be similar to what someone else hit here: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/9431

                  pkg delete pfSense-pkg-\*

                  Then continueing upgrade
                  via: pfSense-upgrade -dy
                  seems to get me further and into a working state...I didnt have aws installed though. Only openvpn and pfBlocker-NG

                    If you read the thread linked from the issue above, the aws package didn't appear to be required by anything, which is part of the issue. It decided mid-upgrade that it was necessary for some as-yet-undiscovered reason and failed.

                    Without the console output or upgrade log from the first post-upgrade reboot it's difficult to say what might have happened in your case.
