Ok - well not everyone has the same hardware or config, my system wouldn't start up properly after the update. That is valid, observable information ... just trying to save people time. I didn't mean to assume the upgrade would work for no-one, but early on when the RC4 came out I wasn't the only one on this support mail saying the upgrade didn't work. I have many sites with Pfsense, ipcop etc running so I can make reasonable observations.
My system has 4 nics, and I am making use of many features. Perhaps it was the presence of add-ons that cause the problem, who knows. I have seen people posting much more trivial information that advice that the upgrade doesn't always work. I look forward to trying the next upgrade when the 1.2 final comes.
