The CF images should have the correct settings set for CF card. However the upgrade process takes a fair amount of ram. The best bet is to disable any extra services during the upgrade. The RAM size issue is different than the CF card size issue. The RAM size issue, is simply running out of available memory to run the upgrade process and boot up. The 512CF card issue, is that the pfsense image is around 190MBs, times two plus a 50MB configuration partition. There isn't enough room to unpack the image and do the upgrades. In either case, you can backup your configuration, to your local server, then re-flash the CF card, then restore your configuration. If the upgrade fails its helpful to look at the upgrade log file, to see why it failed. Usually it fails due to pointing to an invalid URL and failing to validate, or package errors. _______________________________________________ List mailing list [email protected] https://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list
