Update to 2.4.5-RELEASE-p1 (amd64) Bricked SG-4860

[beremonavabi]

I don't need any help with this since I managed to get my SG-4860 working again by manually installing pfSense via the console. But, I did want to report it. The behavior was exactly like what happened the last time I used the Update button in the GUI:

https://forum.netgate.com/topic/128969/update-to-2-4-3-bricked-sg-4860-fixed

The unit never came back up after what appeared to be a successful update. Exactly like the previous time, the "Rebooting" countdown just kept repeating. Trying to manually connect to it via the network didn't work. After 10 minutes or so of trying, I finally pulled the plug and rebooted it. But, that didn't help. I ended up moving the box to my computer, plugging a console cable in and trying to connect with Putty.

There were recurring error message scrolling by (I think they were about bad formats), but unfortunately, I didn't think to copy some of them down (sorry). I finally ended up installing a fresh copy of 2.4.5-RELEASE-p1 from a USB thumb drive.

In case it's of any use (doubtful), here's what scrolled by during the GUI update:

@beremonavabi said in Update to 2.4.5-RELEASE-p1 (amd64) Bricked SG-4860:

There were recurring error message scrolling by (I think they were about bad formats), but unfortunately, I didn't think to copy some of them down (sorry). I finally ended up installing a fresh copy of 2.4.5-RELEASE-p1 from a USB thumb drive.

Those are the errors we'd need to see in order to speculate about what might have happened. Next time you update, connect to the console first and have your serial client log the output and capture everything that happens during the upgrade.

We test upgrades and new installations on SG-4860 devices, so it isn't a general problem with the platform, but we're always interested in improving the upgrade experience if we can get enough information about problems people have with it.

@jimp Since it's happened twice to me (and I only find a very few instances of anyone else having the issue), I'm assuming there must be something marginal about my SG-4860. Hopefully, that won't grow into anything worse. But, next time, I'll try to remember to watch it through the console.

Thanks for the reply.
