      PFSense box won't start after 2.2 upgrade I got default interfaces not found even with the valid interfaces xl0 and bge0 from working 2.1 box!

      Configuration could not be validated! A previous configuration was restored.

      Anyone had the same upgrade problem please?

        Warning: Invalid argument supplied foreach() in /etc/inc/xmlparse.inc on line 214

          I have exactly the same issue, No valid interfaces found, when I upgrade from 2.1.5 I can see the old Vlans configured but no real interfaces, re0 and em0 both appear in 2.1.

          no network access at all?

          Any Ideas?

              Maybe the drivers don't find any NIC drivers on your system. Try a BIOS factory defaults.

                  Completely dead with 2.2, this box has worked for the last 3 or 4 years flawlessly, and with 2.1.5 still does.

                  Please any ideas, anything I can do to get info out of the install to help with diags?

                  Anyone else using a Intel D510MO mini-itx board?

                  regards

                    Are you using 64-bit pfSense or i386? Read this, related to Atom CPU: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=84679.msg481942#msg481942

                      My system is i386 and "cpu doesn, t support long mode". I reinstalling 2.2 from CD with some packages still out of order.  :'(
                      2.2 upgrade was painful in any case!

                        I had am having the exact same issue. upgraded from 2.15 on an intel atom x86 and after the reboot no nics found.

                        When you reinstalled from scratch did it work?

                        I want to reinstall from scratch but I need to backup my settings and config and since I can't get the system to boot without the nics I don't know how.

                        And tips?

                        Thanks

                          Yes worked for me on 32-bit architecture.
                          I have backup not the latest one but at least several months old make my life easier. Still looking for SquidGuard & HAVP package to work! I hope that you will get the solution soon.

                          Good luck
