Update from 2.4.1 to 2.4.2 dev failed

[bimmerdriver]

I was running 2.4.1 since it was released and tried to switch over to 2.4.2 dev. The update failed. Below is a screen capture of the console. freebsd boots, but pfsense is non-functional. I was going to download a snapshot and reinstall, but I thought I'd ask if anyone wants me to look at any files that may indicate what happened before I blow it away.

Try reinstalling with next snapshot. Or fix the buggy line yourself - https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/commit/b0b70737ba38c5b7daca2ba779c5d71159e0ce05#diff-c3916603d3e9accb83275e3ccbddf6e6

Then there's another bug introduced and fixed: https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/commit/c48651648ceea6bfa4cd83af815af26cabc7d8e1#diff-c3916603d3e9accb83275e3ccbddf6e6

And then there are probably other bugs, and you'll be better off leaving the 2.4.2 thing alone until someone does some QA actually, because this is getting absurd. Not sure which snapshot has both of these fixed, and similar issues would be avoided if someone actually at least tried to load the GUI after making the above broken code changes.

You're welcome to help with testing.

I downloaded and installed the 2.4.1 release. I'll try updating to the 2.4.2 snapshot later.

My firewall failed to update drom 2.4.1 to 2.4.2.
My setup is a physical machine with SSD and intel sata controller. It hangs at boot, says it can't start the kernel. Installation came from an upgrade 2.3.4 –> 2.4.1 Trying to boot the 2.4.0 memstick (i need 2.4.0 or 2.4.2 for PPP VLAN support) and i riceive the same (almost) error. I have an old HP server board (SE316M1) with 2 E5620 and 24G RAM. Now i'm testing my RAM machine,

That's a different problem than I had. I since successfully updated to 2.4.2. Not sure how much success you will have going directly from 2.3.4 to 2.4.1. If your RAM checks out, you might want to try installing freebsd 11.1 (not pfsense) to see if it's a compatibility issue.
