| Issue | Symptoms | Workaround / Solution | |-------|----------|-----------------------| | | The system hangs while initializing hardware, often during auto‑detection of VLANs or just after interface detection. | Press Y when prompted to configure VLANs at the console, even if you do not plan to use them, to bypass the hang. Alternatively, try booting into single‑user mode and creating a verbose RC flag ( touch /verbose_rc ) to gather debug output. | | Disk selection error | The installer displays “Not Enough Disks Selected” / “Stripe: Not Enough Disks Selected” during partitioning. | Use the spacebar to highlight the drive you wish to install to; an asterisk [*] should appear next to the drive name. Only then will the installer proceed. | | WebGUI memory errors after upgrade | PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size exhausted (often in kea2unbound ). | Increase the memory limit for PHP or reduce the number of concurrent tasks. Restarting the web interface ( System > Advanced > WebGUI ) may also help. Consider allocating more RAM to the system if possible. | | Serial console not working on older hardware | Devices with ISA‑based serial ports (e.g., APU 1, RCC‑DFF 2220, RCC‑VE 2440/4860/8860) have no console output after upgrade. | Follow the ISA Serial Console workaround . Netgate devices running pfSense Plus handle this automatically. | | Cannot see 2.8.x in update branches | The system reports “The system is on the latest version” even on 2.7.0. | Run certctl rehash in the console; this often resolves certificate issues and makes the newer branches appear. If not, review the Upgrade Guide . | | High availability / DNS issues | After upgrading, internal clients need to refresh webpages multiple times when using a CARP VIP as the gateway/DNS server. | This is a known issue (#16425) tracked in the bug tracker. Troubleshooting steps include disabling pfBlockerNG DNSBL and adjusting cache TTL settings. | Newer Intel and AMD NICs (Network Interface Cards)
