Ok, I did that, and it complains that the file exists.  So, I tried to force with the -f flag, and it complained that there was no mptspi module found.  Removed the /boot initrd-2.6.27.19-72.e22.img file and reran without the -f flag and received same error.



Seems like a neverending story :-/
One more try...

Code:
mkdir /mnt
mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /mnt
chroot /mnt
mkdir -p /var/lock
rm /etc/sysconfig/hwinfo
kudzu -ps --kernel=2.6.27.19-72.e22
kudzu --kernel=2.6.27.19-72.e22
mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.27.19-72.e22.img 2.6.27.19-72.e22
exit

Still getting "No module mptspi found for kernel 2.6.27.19-72.e22, aborting"


Hmm... there is one more command that comes to my mind...

Code:
mkdir /mnt
mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /mnt
cp /bin/modprobe.conf.sh /mnt/etc/modprobe.conf
chroot /mnt
mkdir -p /var/lock
rm /etc/sysconfig/hwinfo
kudzu --kernel=2.6.27.19-72.e22
mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.27.19-72.e22.img 2.6.27.19-72.e22
exit

Thanks...got the following errors:

root@pomgate:~ # smart install efw-base
Loading cache...
Updating cache...               ######################################## [100%]

Computing transaction...                                                        error: Can't install efw-base-2:2.3.20-1.endian15@noarch: all packages providing efw-mainsite failed to install:

error: Can't install python-2.4.6-18.endian7@i586: no package provides libbz2.so.1


Ok, seems like there are some dependency issues...
I will try to find out as soon as I can in which order the packages have to be installed... but I cannot give you an exact date on that yet :-/

Success! Thank you for all of your help!

If this going to somehow be fixed for future upgrades from 2.3 to 2.4?  I have a few 2.3 firewalls running in VM's.

Finally! Great to hear... Thank you for all your patience!
We are working on the fixes (actually waiting for them since the system is still compiling) and will release updates soon.

Could somebody make the code sticky somewhere in the forum in the meantime? I don't know how to do that :-/
I think this will help some other people as well...

Code:
mkdir /mnt
mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /mnt
cp /bin/modprobe.conf.sh /mnt/etc/modprobe.conf
chroot /mnt

Thanks you for an new version.

I got also some errors when upgrading:


error: file /home/httpd/html/include/jquery.flot.js from install of python-toscawidgets-jquery-0.9.5-7.endian5 conflicts with file from package efw-base-2.6.127.2-1.endian9

error: file /home/httpd/cgi-bin/hosts.cgi from install of efw-dnsmasq-2.3.15-0.endian8 conflicts with file from package efw-base-2.6.127.2-1.endian9

Any ideas?

Looks like you were trying to upgrade from version 2.2 - unfortunately this is not yet supported but we are working on it.

Dear Christian,

Thank you for your very quick reply! Yes, it is correct that I am using version 2.2. It is option to do a clean installation and then import the backup or is this not supported? I will just wait then for for 2.2 -> 2.4 repos.

Thank you!

Thomas

You can create a backup with your settings, install version 2.4 and import the backup there.
However, unless you are using an IDE harddisk you might get into trouble during the installation since there are some driver issues I am currently sorting out. If you can wait for a day I'd recommend you do that.

Christian

Hello!  I too am getting this file conflict errors, however I am trying to upgrade from 2.3 > 2.4.  Any current issues with going from 2.3 to 2.4?

Hello,

This looks strange to me, as efw-base-2.6.127 .2-1.endian9 is definitely an EFW 2.2 package. How did you install your EFW 2.3?

I have also had upgrade from 2.3 -> 2.4 and 2.4 clean install problems.

I am installing/upgrading on a Compaq EVO 800 laptop, 2.4GHz Mobile P4, 1GB RAM, 60GB IDE Drive, onboard Intel 100Mb NIC, PCCard 3com 100Mb NIC.

The 2.3 install finds both the Intel and the 3com NICs without any problems.

The clean 2.4 install does not find the 3com NIC but does find the Intel.

The 2.3 -> 2.4 upgrade does not find the 3com NIC but does find the Intel.

The 2.3 -> 2.4 upgrade has also been performed after a clean 2.3 install.

I upgraded to 2.2 using the instructions that were emailed to me:

#3   If your Endian Firewall Community is older than version 2.2 please run
        root@efw-2:~ # rpm -ivh ttp://updates.endian.org/upgrade.rpm

Run the efw-upgrade script

root@efw-2:~ # efw-upgrade
Please choose the appropriate channel for your environment and hit [ENTER]:
1) Production (stable releases)
2) Development (bleeding edge)
1
Please enter your username and hit [ENTER]:

I of course chose the Production release.  The upgrade went fine with no errors and according to Help the version I am using is 2.3 at least the documentation
included in Help is 2.3.  The web interface changed after the upgrade as well as the addition of routing via the web gui, etc. all seem to be 2.3 version.

EDIT:  Looking at the homepage for my Endian I do see:

Status: Connected: main (0d 1h 52m 5s)  Uptime: 10:12:19 up 1:52, 0 users, load average: 0.36, 0.10, 0.02
Endian Firewall Community release 2.2 (c) 2004-2009 Endian

ok, so basically something already went wrong while performing the upgrade from 2.2 to 2.3... :-/
efw-base is definitely from the 2.2 release which is why you see the 2.2 at the bottom of the page...

Until I double checked the version, I thought the upgrade went fine.  However, as you say some went wrong.  I would guess at this point a clean install of 2.3 should be done after doing a backup.  Once 2.3 is installed, restore backup and all should be well?
Then perhaps do an upgrade to 2.4.
