Just had a very similar, if not the same problem today, after deciding to test out 2.5.

From 2.4.4-p2, using the gui to upgrade.
System rebooted, but threw all manner of issues on the boot, leaving the system broken.

Root cause was at some point during the initial boot php-fpm crashed, and tried to write its core dump to /var/run/php-fpm.core
/var/run however is a 3.4MB ramdisk, so it failed to write the dump, and subsequently a lot of the upgrade process failed due to lack of disk space.

This sounds like a different issue. I never heard about php-fpm crash during upgrade before

Thanks it`s fixed.

@rbgarga
Great!
So next snap should be ok?

yes

Excellent, thank you!

I have:

a) Removed all packages via GUI and upgraded, same error
b) Used command "pkg delete pfSense-pkg-*", same error

I dont think its a package thing.

Same issue here as well from 2.4.4_2 to the latest 2.5 snapshot as of April 10.

RRD and VMTools packages installed. RRD looks to be the common one from above.

Same error...upg.txt

That didn't include the actual error from the next boot.

I checked all the package dependencies and I don't see any for CE that require aws-sdk-php73 so I'm still puzzled as to how it's deciding that is necessary to pull that in on the next boot.

We're shifting things to the next quarterly ports branch today, so it may be worth trying the upgrade again once a new snapshot shows up later today / tomorrow.

EDIT: Something else to try would be to remove all pfSense packages (pkg delete pfSense-pkg-\*) and then try the upgrade again. Then add the packages back if that worked. If that does work then it has to be from a package, then we just need to figure out which one...

I can try to upgrade again since this is VM it can be done very quickly :)
Will try in 1-2 hours when I return home.

It also wants to install postgresql95-client which is not a base system requirement and wasn't on there before, so it must be coming from a package.

Also the problem stated 2.4.4 to 2.5.0, not 2.4.5. 2.4.5 could be something different.

pkg info -r aws-sdk-php73

[2.4.5-DEVELOPMENT][root@.local]/root: pkg info -r aws-sdk-php73
pkg: No package(s) matching aws-sdk-php73

pkg info -r aws-sdk-php73

I updated the Redmine issue. What packages do you have installed on systems that hit this?

Log file of pfSense-upgrade (2.4.4): upgrade_log.txt
Log file of the first boot log after the botched upgrade (2.5.0): boot_log.txt

Edit: Connected to the internet (dhclient em0 for me), re-run pfSense-upgrade and I can now boot, but not without issues. Current boot log looks like this (2.5.0): boot_log.txt
