Unable to import 1.2.3 Release Config
-
Hello,
today I installed a Soekris 5501 with the following image pfSense-2.0-BETA5-4g-i386-20110211-0021-nanobsd.img.gz
Everything went fine. I logged in to the WebGUI and finished the wizzard. After that I tried to import a complete 1.2.3 Release config.xml file. The Box was connected with a serial cable so I could watch whats happening. It rebooted and all I could see were houndreds of errors. Finally the Menu with the numbers came up, but the shell did not react at all. All I could do was a restart. When the box was online again, it resettet itself to factory defaults. I tried the whole thing 3 times and then I gave up.
Someone has I idea why this happens?Thank you!

Without seeing the "errors" it is impossible to say.
Can you reflash back to 1.2.3, restore your 1.2.3 config backup, and then try to repeat the upgrade?
If so, record/capture the console output from the upgrade and post it here if possible. The 1.2.3 config would also be helpful to see.
If there is private data in either the config or the console output, you can e-mail it to me so it isn't on the public forum.
-
Have I done it the wrong way?!
Should I have updated a 1.2.3 Installation which was configured correctly, instead of importing a 1.2.3 config file to 2.0? -
Oh, sorry, I misread what you had done.
Yes, you can import the config fine.
We still need the "before" config and the console output of the errors though.
So just wipe it clean and start fresh, then restore the 1.2.3 config.

Today I tried something similiar and got the exact same error!
I have a home Firewall soekris4801 with pfSense 1.2.3-Release. Through the webGUI I installed the nanobsd RC1 update. Since then I am offline. Now I am at work and could check the serial port output. The obviously problem ist, that the LAN port forgot its IP. I have a config backup from 1.2.3-Release. What do I do now? Either I could reinstall 1.2.3-Release and import the config, or I install 2.0RC1 and try to import the 1.2.3 config. Anyway, why did that happen?

Looks like you have an invalid configuration file somehow.
Most common way for that to have happened to is have some international characters where they aren't allowed. Usually 1.2.3 was more sensitive to that sort of thing.
-
What can I do about this? Or do I have to do a clean install of RC1 and reconfigure all manually?
-
Well something in the config is invalid, so importing isn't likely to work either.
If you don't mind sharing your config, I can look it over. jimp [at] pfsense {dot} org (put a link to this thread in the e-mail)
-
Nothing obviously wrong there, not the things I would expect to see that make it fail in past cases.
Have you tried restoring a copy of that config with the <installedpackages>section removed?</installedpackages>
