    I did try three times:

    • one fresh install
    • two upgrades from 27/9

    All three gave problems / failed. Perhaps not all in exactly the same way. I did notice:

    • once system starting but restarting all the time before it was up
      (I think that was with the clean install)
    • and not finding an OS at all
      (I think that was after the upgrades)

    I do not know what is causing this. But good to hear that others do not have problems.

      I just noticed from kiokoman's screenshot that the os has changed from:

      FreeBSD 12.2-PRERELEASE to 12.2 STABLE.

      That could be a clue, could e.g. be related to a package I installed. I have to investigate.

        @louis2 said in Warning! Do not update with todays 1/10 snapshot!:

        strange, it's usually a wrong bios settings like efi instead of bios or vice versa combined with a wrong partition table mbr/gpt

          ok it seems that it does not work
          if i set efi bios on a vm machine it stop booting after upgrading
          also the virtual machine power off alone after the error

          login-to-view

          I will try again to be sure

            What is also .. strange is that 12.2-STABLE does not exist at all, just as 12.2.-PRERELEASE did not exist !

            See https://www.freebsd.org/where.html

            For me it would help if the OS-versions as show in pfSense would be in line with formally existing FreeBSD versions

                  I would not do that, since the change that it is fixed is ... very small

                    yeah, leave it to me, I can test it in a vm

                    ok with the new build after the reboot done by the upgrade process you don't lose access to the WebGUI but if you reboot again it does not boot anymore

                          @w0w Seeing your positive findings, I did retest.

                          Sorry to say, but NOT OK here!

                              Given wow his positive message, I did start an update from the gui.

                              I noticed that the FW did not return / did not become active, so I looked ad my kvm-switch. Trying to boot form network since it could not find any valid local startup partion.

                              So I did force a restart via "Cntr-Alt-Del" and again noticed no valid boot. Did that another time same result.

                              So .... not ok yet. Notice that redmine has started an "urgent" issue related to this problem (10943), which is not reported as fixed.

                                When I upgraded this morning, system was caught in reboot loop trying to load:

                                FreeBSD 12.2-STABLE 2c7ab6a3c3f(devel-12) pfSense amd64

                                When I switched to kernel.old it came up with:

                                    @msm i think you have a different problem for kernel.old
                                    e1000_reset_hw_82571
                                    there is a driver problem with your e1000
                                    but maybe the old kernel is incompatible with other upgrades done by pfsense

                                      Yes, was just filing under warnings for others.

                                      You meant to say "new kernel", no?

                                        with new kernel you have boot loop as we have right?
                                        you said that switching to kernel.old lead to a crash dump

                                          @w0w
                                          did you reboot twice?

                                          Three times. If it does matter I use ZFS.
                                          On the real hardware I have mirrored ZFS volume. Sometimes after upgrade it comes with old version back, so I need to update this twice sometimes. On the latest snapshots I did it every time today, but I didn't attach any importance to it. May be it's failed really, but booted because of ZFS, dunno. This does not explain why VM version on ZFS but without mirror works fine.
