      Hi,

      I tried upgrading from 2.1 to 2.1.2 (I didn't get a chance to upgrade to 2.1.1). After router upgrades, I still end up on 2.1.

      I'm on alix board with nanobsd (4g)

      Anyone else having this issue?

        I installed a fresh install of 2.1.1 on an ALIX. Now I updated to 2.1.2 but system seems to be crashed. Don't know exactly what happend, but I can't reach anything on my IP. Have to check via console later this day :(

        2.1.2 seems to be broken for ALIX.

          Negative. 8 Alix boxes running 2.1.2 ATM. And please do not multipost about the same issue.

            Go to Diag>nanobsd and check the upgrade log, what does that show?

              and I have 11 Alix/nanoBSD running 2.1.2 - they are working nicely.

              As the Greek philosopher Isosceles used to say, "There are 3 sides to every triangle."

                Showing success upgrade.
                Only errors I've noticed where:

                  Don't know exactly why you deletet my post with error updating my ALIX APU1C to 2.1.2. This thread is a different issue, but ok. I will go on…

                  After resetting my pfsense because it was stuck on "Reboot after updating firmware", my serial console isn't working anymore. I only can connect via SSH. The connection is fine, because I see the ALIX booting till you can select from what you want to boot. As default I chose F1: pfsense, then it starts to boot up, but nothing more happens.

                  What to do?

                  Also strange: I now use a i386 version of pfsense, with 2.1.1 I used the AMD version.

                    0/ I deleted nothing, I'm not even a moderator. Regardless, it has been deleted because you posted two idential posts in two different threads. Just do NOT do that.
                    1/ APU != ALIX. You seriously are confusing people here. Totally different HW!
                    2/ Last time I've heard, cross-arch upgrades are not exactly something supported. Why don't you just do a fresh install and restore the config?
                    3/ The APU is something far from tested as well.

                      OK, the APU is from the same manufactor of the ALIX but called different. I will try a fresh install and come back later.

                        I'm seeing the same issue on an ALIX board. The upgrade goes through with no errors reported on screen/console, but when it reboots, it boots back into 2.1. The upgrade log has only the following that appears notable.

                        fdisk: invalid fdisk partition table found

                              Can someone test 4g image to see if it's not broken? I had no problems upgrading 2g images, but 4g gives problem.

                                Provide the whole upgrade log. The part being quoted isn't the problem.

                                We tested the 4GB version more than others, as it's the most common one in use.

                                    Here's your problem:

                                    gpart set -a active -i 1 ad0
                                    gpart: table 'ad0' is corrupt: Operation not permitted
                                    

                                    Try this:

                                    gpart bootcode -b /boot/mbr ad0
                                    

                                    Then try the upgrade again.

                                      Thanks, jimp. Missed that perm issue in the log.

                                      Unfortunately, running "gpart bootcode -b /boot/mbr ad0" also results in the exact same error, noting that ad0 is corrupt.

                                        I have the exact same issue with same error in my upgrade log on a 2g install on an Alix box.

                                        I also had the issue on a 4g install but I opted to flash a new image and swap cards. The 2g box though is 4 hours round trip away so I would love to fix the issue and update remotely.

                                        I also had another 4g box that updated just fine. So, 2 out of 3 are broken and would not update with autoupdate or manual update.

                                          Other things to try:

                                          Set the boot slice on Diagnostics > NanoBSD, see if it actually changes.

                                          or

                                          gpart recover ad0
                                          

                                          or

                                          sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=16
                                          boot0cfg -v -s 1 ad0
                                          fdisk -a /dev/ad0
                                          sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=0
                                          

                                          (For fdisk make sure to specify the values it asks and press 'y' to confirm!)

                                          We have yet to be able to reproduce this effectively, but several people have hit it. It would be helpful to know some more about the original setup that failed. Was it your own CF or did it come with the device? Had it ever been upgraded before, and if so how many times? What was its original version of pfSense on that CF card before upgrading?

                                            Slice does not change; nor I can copy ad0s2 -> ad0s1.

                                                This is compact flash card. It was installed as 2.0 and then upgraded to 2.0.3 and later 2.1.

                                                  In my case I had pfSense nanobsd v1.2.3 upgraded to v2.0, that one upgraded to v2.1 - all of them upgraded OK. Now when I wanted to upgrade to v2.1.2, It seems corrupted. I'm preparing a fresly flashed CF card with config already put in.

                                                    I am having the same issue.  Hopefully my situation will help shed some light.

                                                    • I have upgraded at least two other NanoBSD 4G (ALIX) system without issue.

                                                    • Today I am upgrading three identical boxes - ALIX boards running 4G CF card

                                                    • One existing install was already 2.1 and I successfully upgraded to 2.1.2

                                                    • The other two were at 2.0.3 and I successfully upgraded to 2.1, but they are both now stuck on 2.1 after auto-upgrade and manual upgrade attempts.

                                                      Also a side note, I'm not on Alix, but on a Jetway JNF99 with 5 intel nics, Atom CPU and 4GB of RAM, i386 build. The new CF card will carry a 64-bit version this time.

                                                        If you're getting an "i/o error" or "device not configured", reboot and try again. At least for the "i/o error" it seems to lean more toward maybe a bad CF but it's still tough to say for sure.

                                                        Also worth a try:

                                                        sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=16
                                                        fdisk -B -b /boot/boot0 ad0

                                                          I'm in the same boat with 40 plus devices scattered across 4 provinces. I actually haven't managed to get a single one to upgrade except the 3 in our local offices that I performed a clean install on, 2G and 4G, current versions 2.03 and 2.1 on all remotes attempting auto upgrade and manual firmware uploads. Not sure what to do, since I don't want to risk chopping them up and losing remote connectivity. I don't own a helicopter to get around that quickly  ;D

                                                              I'm in the same boat with 40 plus devices scattered across 4 provinces. I actually haven't managed to get a single one to upgrade except the 3 in our local offices that I performed a clean install on, 2G and 4G, current versions 2.03 and 2.1 on all remotes attempting auto upgrade and manual firmware uploads. Not sure what to do, since I don't want to risk chopping them up and losing remote connectivity. I don't own a helicopter to get around that quickly  ;D

                                                              All Alix boards. Errors in the upgrade log

                                                              fdisk: invalid fdisk partition table found
                                                              bsdlabel: /dev/ad0s3: no valid label found

                                                              tar: Failed to set default locale

                                                              I hear ya about all those remote devices and no time to travel there if there is a problem.  For me if there is a risk of breaking it at a remote site I would send them another firewall box and tell them to swap it when time permits.  This way the new firewall is working at the corporate office with the remote site's configuration file and should work fine when it reaches at the remote site.  Then have them send the old one back to redo for another site.

                                                              I know it's a PITA.  Might be good for critical sites that can't go down for any period of time.  Hopefully soon we can get these upgrade issues sorted out.

                                                                I have a faulty image in my hands now, hopefully I can track down a solution soon.

                                                                Current theory is that it was actually corrupt before the latest update and it just started to show it now, but once I have more time to experiment with the broken CF image I'll know for sure.

                                                                I'm certain we can come up with a fix, but it might be something scary like doing a DD of a good partition table to the start of the disk. Not something I'd generally recommend however in theory all NanoBSD images of the same size should have the same partition layout so it may be safe.

                                                                In the meantime I'd like to find out if everyone involved here had 4GB NanoBSD images, or both 2GB and 4GB, or even more.

                                                                            Those last two are interesting in that they're nearly identical and one works and the other doesn't. I expect some variation as we have, over time, slightly shrunk the NanoBSD slice sizes, but that is a bit curious.

                                                                            The .img file I read from the CF with the "corrupt" table appears to be OK, despite the CF showing a damaged table. So I'm left to wonder if there may be some other CF-related factor at play.

                                                                            The following commands could be dangerous so if you choose to attempt them, proceed with extreme caution. I tested these on my own ALIX with a good MBR and it survived, but there are no guarantees. You need only try one of these methods unless it doesn't help, then proceed to the next one.

                                                                            Method #1: Rewrite the MBR+Partition table with dd

                                                                            sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=16
                                                                            dd if=/dev/ad0 of=/tmp/mbr_part_bkup.img bs=512 count=1
                                                                            dd of=/dev/ad0 if=/tmp/mbr_part_bkup.img bs=512 count=1
                                                                            
                                                                            

                                                                            Method #2: Have fdisk reset the partition table:

                                                                            sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=16
                                                                            fdisk -p /dev/ad0 > /tmp/fdisk_bkup.txt
                                                                            fdisk -if /tmp/fdisk_bkup.txt /dev/ad0
                                                                            
                                                                            

                                                                            Method #3: Take a "working" fdisk output and rewrite using it. I can't stress enough that you must make sure the partition boundaries line up, don't grab the fdisk output from a differently sized card:

                                                                            
                                                                            # Get the "fdisk -p" output from a similar but working CF, save it in /tmp/fdisk_bkup.txt
                                                                            sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=16
                                                                            fdisk -if /tmp/fdisk_bkup.txt /dev/ad0
                                                                            
                                                                            

                                                                            After any of those, chances are that no commands will work to reboot the unit, so either pull the power or run the following to force a panic+reboot:

                                                                            sysctl debug.debugger_on_panic=0
                                                                            sysctl debug.kdb.panic=1
                                                                            

                                                                            After that has completed, try the upgrade once again.

                                                                            Obviously that isn't something you'd want to try on a remote unit.

I'd be happy to try the various fixes you have proposed, and/or if it would be of more value, I'd be happy to either get you serial access to one or both of them and/or get either CF card(s) and/or dd img dumps out to you.

                                                                                    Would any of the options work better than others as far as getting a 'known good' fix out there?
