    Hi,
    I've tried an update of my soekris update from 1.2.2 to 1.2.3:
    pfSense-Embedded-Update-1.2.3-20090218-0321.tgz

    Box was unable to boot up. No kernel messages. So probably the cf card messed up.

    So I've installed pfsense (pfSense-1.2.3-20090218-0353.img.gz) the usual way.
    I've tried again the update today with :
    pfSense-Embedded-Update-1.2.3-20090222-0435.tgz
    Same behavior.
    After the update the box doesn't boot. No kernel messages or any message from the bootloader.

    Do i miss something? I've read about some update issues with embedded boxes, but unable to boot at all? 
    ???

    Thanks!

      All of my attempts to update an Alix box via the embedded update have resulted in the box being unbootable. My hunch is it has something with temp being a md of very limited size. I could take the same image (1 GB resized 1.2.2), change the platform to pfSense from embedded, reboot, and update using a full update.
