There is also a chance that 'something' went wrong during package installation and the php process got terminated.. In diagnostics/backuprestore you can press the 'clear lock' and 'reinstall all packages' buttons to solve that.. Some packages just cannot be installed during booting due to some include files might not be loaded in advance..

Could you list what packages exactly you had installed before the upgrade.?

The documentation for updating pfSense firmware recommends noting and removing all installed packages before updating[1]. Then, after a successful update, reinstall the packages that were noted. I have had very good success using this method however, I updated to 2.2.1 last night without removing installed packages and after the reboot it took about 2 hours for my Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU C2758 @ 2.40GHz with a 7200RPM pfSenseMirror to complete the package re-installation. Other than a little hiccup with Sarg; all is well. I would, if you can, just wait it out.

    Morning all.

    Since i like being on the "bleeding edge" of technology, as soon
    as the new version of PFSense 2.2.1 was released yesterday, i
    downloaded and installed it on my existing 2.2 box. I told it to
    do a full backup before installing, waiting about 10 min and heard
    my server reboot (2 or 3 beeps, then lots of fans, then about 5
    min later the usual PFSense "boot" charms).

    I was looking at the boot sequence over KVMoIP and it started to
    install packages in the background. this took another 10 min...
    and all was good.

    This morning i logged into the box (both over kvm and web
    interface) and the web gives me the following notice:

    Packages are currently being reinstalled in the background.
    Do not make changes in the GUI until this is complete.

    but there is nothing showing on the console... Im not in the house
    currently, so rebooting is iffy (and i wont have KVM access if i
    do reboot). is it a good idea to reboot if this shows? any idea
    whats going on here?

    Thanks.
