Can't upgrade from 2.4 beta snapshots to 2.4 RC

[spindizzy]

A week or so ago, I tried to update via the GUI, but after a reboot, I was still on 2.4 BETA.

I just tried again, and then via SSH, and it still won't upgrade. I've checked, I'm on the Stable branch in settings. Log output for a manual update on SSH:

And then it reboots...
And I'm still on 2.4.0.b.20170724.1206

Any ideas?

Try https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=135582.msg742380#msg742380

If it doesn't work backup and reinstall.

That did the trick, thanks!
