      @SteveITS said in SG-1100 update from 23.09.1 to 24.03 keeps failing:

      I deleted all but the current boot environment, turned off VRAM and still failed.

        Yeah you will either need bigger RAM disks or to just disable them for the update. I would disable them.

        However this looks like a completely different error. It's not indicative of a failed eMMC. At least not what you've shown us so far.

          @stephenw10 I just tried installing from USB. Here's the message:

            Hmm, that was installing to the eMMC from the Net Installer?

            Check the logs in /var/log/messages and /tmp/bsdinstall_log

              Mine fails as well. SG-1100

                Netgate support people were not offering any remedy for the EMMC read-only state, so I ditched my failed SG-1100. It is a failed hardware design, in my opinion.
                A microSD card or an M2 SSD should have been used as the boot and file system memory, rather than EMMC.
                That would make the SG-1100 recoverable by simply switching out the boot media.

                I installed pfsense CE 2.7.2 on a mini PC with 2 Ethernet PHYs onboard.
                [stephanw10 keeps removing the web link...so helpful]
                It boots and runs SO much faster than the SG-1100.

                  Yup, please don't link to competing products on amazon directly. They are easy enough to find for anyone looking.

                    I am having this same issue with my 1100.
                    So is the resolution to buy a new device?
                    Is the 1100 now a deprecated piece of hardware?

                    The 1100 is now stuck at ver. 23

                    Are there any plans to inform your customers of this?

                      @wasabisinus they for some reason don’t say on here. But, I opened a ticket and they gave me a side load piece of software to use. I haven’t tried it yet, fingers cross that it works. I travel a ton so I have to find time.

                        The legacy recovery image?

                        How exactly is the upgrade failing?

                        Just to be clear it should upgrade with no problems. I tested numerous times in different configurations on the 1100.
