      Hi,

      I attempted upgrading from 22.05 to 23.01 and it failed. Then I re-installed 22.05 and I cannot install packages or upgrade to 23.05. So I got the installer for 23.01 from Netgate and now I am unable to install it.

      I have tried to run recovery several times:

      run usbrecovery
      switch to partitions #0, OK
      mmc1(part 0) is current device

      MMC erase: dev # 1, block # 0, count 4194304 ...

      I keep getting this error:

      Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ufsid/63e6b2a98b3567af [rw,noatime]...

      Any advice on how to address this?

        @emmaylots “integrity check failed” sounds like the USB stick has a problem, if I’m reading that right? Can you try another?

        If you’re on 22.05 set the update branch to the version you’re on, e.g. Previous not Current, to install /update packages.

        If you’re on an 1100/2100 they blocked online updating to 23.01 last night.

        Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
        When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

          Thanks, it seems something might be wrong either with writing the new 23.01 image to disk or the image itself. I used the old 22.05 image and wrote it to flash and it worked okay.

          How do I set the update branch to Previous? Tried editing some config file but it didn't work

          See the error I got with 23.01

            23.01? 23.05 is the bleeding edge dev version.

              Thank you. I meant 23.01.

              I've started re-installing 22.05, I'll stick with it for the next 1 year 😁

                @emmaylots Personally I would not wait that long, but I understand why one would. There shouldn't be any issues doing a fresh install of 23.01 on the Netgate 1100. If you're still having trouble installing it, open a ticket with TAC and they should be able to assist.

                  Whatever hardware you're on if you are not on a 3100 I would install from the 23.01 install image (request in the link in my signature) and go ZFS.

                  There is no reason to use UFS on an 1100.
