Upgrade to pfSense 2.3.2-p1 went totally wrong
-
Hey,
just upgraded my Alix box with the new 2.3.2-p1 maintenance release. There were no errors during the upgrade process and i
thought everything went fine. Then it rebootet and never came back online. I had to look for my USB-Seriell-Adapter to see why it isn't booting up, because my Alix has no VGA.This is what it showed:

Rather than start a new post just posting here.
I tried the update 5 times via the GUI. It did not work.
I then tried to update my plugins and that didn't work.
Both updates download just fine. Then there is some mishap about checking the files and then the update quits.
So I gave up.
Last update didn't work via the GUI either so I went to the command line update and that worked.
For now waiting as I do not want to deal with a broken PFSense build at this time.
If you can get to the command line try to restore your last build is the only suggestion that I can provide as I typically leave PFSense alone as it works great for me (except the last two updates).

Solved it now by doing a reinstall. Apparently there is now way to recover on this sort of errors.
This time i did the upgrade not on the Alix but in a Virtualbox machine where i connected the cf-card to and it went ok.
I have noticed that on the next reboot packages get installed while booting up. Maybe this took very long on the Alix as it is not a very powerfull machine and cut the power while it was still booting/upgrading. Dont know.Next time i will be more catious about it and attach the seriell console on the next boot up after an upgrade to see whats going on. 8)

Good news OlliC!
I have not tried again to update.
I have historically upchucked my PFSense build, started from scratch and recovered via a backup.
This time though built a duplicate machine on standby.
