[Fixed] 2.1.4 Nano update files are all VGA version
-
We're looking into this, there was a change in the file namings that may have confused the uploading scripts.
Awfully quiet here… no progress?

This just bit me in the ass. Upgraded my firebox X1250e from 2.1.3 > 2.1.4 from the webGUI. Now it won't boot. Luckily I have a spare firebox that has got me back online. Unfortunately I don't have a recent config backed up. Guess I learnt a valuable lesson. Always backup before an upgrade.
This bug should be posted on the blog or at least publicised. Cost me some down time and now I relying on stephen or someone, to explain to me how can I get my config off the CF card / repair my borked firebox without doing a clean install. Any ideas people?

Had same issue as you with my setup. You should be able to recover quite fast, though you will need serial console.
See this topic: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=78589.0

The easiest way to recover is to switch slices at the boot menu. That can still be done via the serial console.
To recover the config file from the CF card mount it under a FreeBSD machine. If you don't have a FreeBSD box you can use a VM with some sort of pass through to your CF card reader or use a live CD like GhostBSD.
I'm still surprised just how few people have been bitten here. Are there thousands of Alix users who have no console but don't realise it?

This looks to have been fixed this morning. The updaters URL now contains the correct images. :)

Thank you, Steve!

Both reasons will match.
There are some ALIX users who are cautious with updates and read the forum some days or weeks before they start an update.
I haven't updated mine cause of threads like this one. And if I had, I wouldn't have noticed the issue, since I only use the console if it is really required. -

Yes, the images should all be OK now. cmb made some changes and put the correct images in place.
