      Good Afternoon - I was running 2.4 and selected the update on the stable channel. The system doesn't seem to coming back up gracefully, I can SSH to the box but I am not sure what I need to do to bring the box back to a working condition, any tips/ideas/etc.

        If you can ssh in, check the system log for any clues about what might have happened (clog /var/log/system.log)

        Also try running pfSense-upgrade -d and see if it still shows anything it wants to do.

        Worst case, you can contact support at https://go.netgate.com and get a recovery image to reinstall it. Since you are still able to reach the device via ssh, you can copy off the config from /conf/config.xml over scp or using a similar method.

          @jimp Thanks for the ideas. When initially reviewing the logs there are some errors and when I compare with the upgrade command there is an error that is present in both:

          Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'intl.so'...(Shared object "libicui18n.so.62" not found, required by "intl.so"

            I restored from a recovery image and it looks like it's reinstalling missing packages now, thanks for helping get me on the right path!
