6100 Max running 24.03 RC unable to update firmware

jonathan.rupp

I have a 6100 MAX running 24.03 RC that is currently running firmware version 02.02.00.00t-uc-15 and showing the current as 03.00.00.03t-uc-18.

I received this error when trying to update;

dmistore : Creating DMI files...
cannot read chassis_AssetTag
dmistore : DMI files created
mount_msdosfs: /dev/da0p1: No such file or directory
Error mounting EFI partition

Any ideas ?

@SteveITS

Yes that was me … I’m getting frustrated.

stephenw10

Hmm, interesting. Can I assume you didn't try updating it from 21.09.1? Are you able to roll back to a 23.09.1 BE and test that?

jonathan.rupp

@stephenw10

Correct this is a lab system and ran 24.03-Beta since it was released.

Rollback is not an option, unfortunately.

The unit was just recently reinstalled using the Netgate Install package, as it was not on ZFS.

stephenw10

Can we see the output from gpart list there?

Hmm, do you have a USB drive attached to it?

A 6100-MAX would normally have disks nda0 and mmcsd0. Your's appears to not have the eMMC but does have a da0 device.

jonathan.rupp

@stephenw10

That’s the strange thing. There’s nothing but stock drives and no attachments.

stephenw10

Hmm. Well that's odd!

Do you see the mmcsd device in the boot log?

And still no mmcsd0 device in the geom output?

Ok that da0 device is non-standard. It's USB attached. If it's not an actual USB drive is it perhaps a card in the SIM slot?

It's somehow booting from that though and confusing the firmware updater. You should remove it. You may need to reinstall though if the nvme drive doesn't contain a valid install.

jonathan.rupp

@stephenw10

No USBs and nothing in the SIM slot.

stephenw10

Ok check the output of: usbconfig dump_device_desc

On a 6100-MAX with nothing connected that should look like:
