@Draco Did/do you have 'prefer IPv4' set in Sys > Adv > Networking? Otherwise it will try to use IPv6 if it's available.

@SteveITS said in Netgate 2100 failed upgrade 25.07 to 25.11: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/troubleshooting/filesystem-shrink.html Thank you! After removing old boot environments, I freed up 40% of the disk. Upgrade worked, currently on 25.11 appreciate your help.

Thanks a lot for all the efforts to help me - I appreciate this a lot. I decided to reinstall .... my data is required for downloading PLUS no-offline installation is possible - Really! Sorry, but this is the point where you lost me, switching to OPNSense.

Yup the 1100 has the least RAM of any Netgate device so is most likely to hit this.

Nice. Thanks for the update.

@bozo.bogd Sorry. I've been burried in other things: Like trying to figure out why Winderz Word locks up a user's computer so they can't find a document they had spent all day on..... I've started giving a lot of thought to Mint and since they have Office CDs (from years gone by......). At anyrate, I will get back to this and give ZFS a try. Just not sure how soon. Regards.... Wylbur (which BTW was a software product I use to be a developer for on IBM Mainframes).

Hmm, that should never happen. What image are you using on the USB drive? At the Marvell>> prompt try running printenv. Make sure it shows a serial line and that it matches the value on the label.

Can you try to boot the other kernel to get the actual error? Or try to boot the Net Installer to see if that also generates an error?

I don't see one open. You can create one here: https://redmine.pfsense.org/projects/pfsense/issues

Thanks will contact Netgate

Yup, it's fixed in internal 1.2 builds. It also has other fixes, hopefully we can get that out very soon.

We can close here. Reinstalled, works. thanks a lot @stephenw10 for your patience :-)

@rpsmith As someone not likely to ever make the jump away from CE unless and until the so-called Netgate Installer stops booting on whitebox hardware—even then it'd be hard to pass on Plus for $129/year now. I only grow more regretful with each new release having not snagged a license for free. You'd be moving to an inferior and more expensive product, for an irrational reason. Doesn't OPNsense cost more than that just to achieve a comparable (though still unequivalent) feature set?

@stephenw10 I got the same error when installing 2.8.1. I think 2.8.0 should be a given option to download and install. Eventually I installed 2.7.2 and within the Web GUI upgraded to 2.8.1.

I added a warning about this issue to the release notes, with workarounds: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/releases/25-11.html#tls-certificate-strength

@encyklopedi said in Causes for: “pkg: An error occured while fetching package”?: Immediate connect fail for 208.123.73.207: Network is unreachable Either there is a bad or missing route to the server or something is blocking that traffic and returning that it is blocked. What do you see if you try: ping ews.netgate.com from pfSense?
