Netgate 1100 upgrade from 22.05-RELEASE to 23.01.b.20221221.0600 failed
-
Upgrade went fine as far as I can tell except for the following error in the log:
New packages to be INSTALLED: pfSense-boot: 23.01.b.20221221.0600 [pfSense-core] Number of packages to be installed: 1 The process will require 3 MiB more space.

Checking integrity... done (0 conflicting)1100 does not reboot, only power led lighted and console does not work.
I have the following image for 6100 (migrated to ZFS), can I use it to recover 1100:
pfSense-plus-memstick-serial-22.05-RELEASE-amd64.img.gzIs there any reason not to migrate also 1100 to ZFS and if not, can I restore backup to it?
Edit: Is the recovery possible?

@pfsjap Could be wrong but I think I saw that the 1100 wouldn't run the new version. You might want to check the official blog post.
Yup,

This is also true for all Intel 32-bit devices.

@jarhead This SG-1100, is it end-of-light already?

@mcury Yeah, I misread the 1000 for 1100.

It happened to me too, I had to double check..

You'll need a recovery image for 22.05 on the 1100 specifically, the plus image for the 6100 is the wrong architecture.
The 1100 can run 23.01 OK, I have mine on it here.
As others have pointed out it's the 1000 that can't run 23.01.
-
@jimp Ok, thank you.
Will it boot from the USB stick now that it does not boot normally anymore?
What about the ZFS and backup recovery?
Before trying to upgrade to 23.1 again, should I disable RAM disk? Maybe that was the reason for failure?
-
Got the recovery image for 1100, but it does not boot from USB stick.
Is it just a paper weight now? -
Keep talking with TAC, they'll help you get it going again.
-
Sure enough, it is going now. I also have 6100 and just switched the console cable from it to 1100 expecting Putty to work with the same COM port. It didn't. With the right COM port console worked ok and 1100 has been recovered. Next I'll restore the backup and try to upgrade to 23.1 again.

23.01.b.20221221.1325 is up and running on SG-1100.

@pfsjap There's a 21.1946 version out today.
