16.7 Legacy Series / Re: [SOLVED] Upgrade to 16.7 failed! Kernel not updated
« on: July 29, 2016, 01:39:37 pm »
I had similar problems on one of our two firewalls when upgrading from 16.1.20 to 16.7.0.
FreeBSD stayed at version 10.2.
I found this thread and tried to open a console.
But no matter how I tried to login all I got was "Access denied".
I addition I started to receive notification mails with the following content:
There were error(s) loading the rules: pfctl: DIOCADDRULE: Operation not supported by device - The line in question reads
Via the WEB Interface I did a reboot of the device.
At least that's what I thought I did. And it did not solve the problems.
Then suddenly I saw on the dashboard that the system was up for 107 days!!!
So there was no reboot at all. Not now and not after several of the earlier 16.1.x updates.
Now I tried to execute a "Power Off" via the WEB GUI.
Like the reboot it did not work.
As a last resort I performed a hard power off by pulling the plug.
Now after the restart I see FreeBSD 10.3 running.
I can log into the console again.
No more error messages, too.
So the root problem seemed to be the failing reboot.
No idea what could have caused it.
My two cents
