Unable to upgrade from OPNsense 21.1.9_1-amd64 to 21.7

[hvleest]

Also the default password opnsense does not work

HELP...
After my update to the latest version from 21.1.9 to 21.7, nothing happens. It rebooted after the update, then it was quiet. Connected it to mouse, keyboard and screen. Not even a bios on the display.
Connected it back in the network and tried to access it by ssh on the WAN and LAN ports. Ssh is enabled and worked previously. Unfortunally it doesn't allow me access.
Is there another way to access it by SSH?
Thx

Sounds like a hardware problem if you don't even see the BIOS screen or boot messages.

Also the default password opnsense does not work

UPDATE. old install was corrupt after update. New install boots.
Also, make sure when you connect a screen, its a small screen. 22inch is to big. 19inch works perfect

I am blocked from upgrading 21.1.9_1-amd64 to 21.7 and none of the workarounds listed in this thread are working.

[...]

Not sure where to go from here, any ideas Franco?

Try changing the mirror and make sure that IPv6 works or is otherwise turned off.


Cheers,
Franco

I disabled IPv6 and the upgrade completed successfully.

Thanks Franco!

I have tried all of the solutions in this topic and am still stuck and my system does not see an upgrade path. I have tried a variety of mirrors.

Is there any way to see more detailed logs or otherwise troubleshoot why it cannot see the upgrade?

Please run a health audit. This doesn't look right?

That's not how to invoke a major upgrade and also it should tell you about "21.7" which is the correct input...

EDIT: I am good to go, see below.

Thanks. So this is probably my fault, as I deleted these files based on another post related to the signature issue...before I found this topic.

opnsense-21.1.9_1: missing file /usr/local/opnsense/firmware-message
opnsense-21.1.9_1: missing file /usr/local/opnsense/firmware-upgrade


I assume I can manually pull those files down from a mirror?

EDIT: I reinstalled the opnsense package and it replaced those files. Then I checked for an upgrade and everything went smoothly!

Thanks for the prompt reply and help!

Ok, good. Just reinstall "opnsense" package from System: Firmware: Packages tab. Or from the shell:

# opnsense-revert opnsense

Could be that you're back to a previous error but need to look at this one too.

Also can you share your "uname -v" output to see if you are in a partial upgrade state or if it never started in the first place.

That did it, thanks! Now running 21.7.2 with no issues!

Yay, nice :)
