Error: Invalid Firmware, Wrong Checksum

[Simmers1974]

Because i had some spare time today i thought i'd upgrade freenas from FreeNAS-9.2.0-RELEASE-x64 to 9.3 but all i keep getting is Error: Invalid firmware, wrong checksum. I downloaded the upgrade and copied the checksum below the download link.

Is your hardware 32-bit?

Even if you have a 64 bit CPU, you shouldn't try to upgrade directly from 9.2.0 to the latest 9.3.1. At a minimum, you'd probably want to get up to 9.2.1.9 before attempting to upgrade to 9.3.1.

Please read the hardware requirements section in the 9.3 manual. Some hardware that formerly worked with 9.2.x and earlier is no longer compatible with 9.3 and later.

I've got a 64bit system. I've saved my config and just installed 9.3 on a new stick and uploaded my config to it. Is the free nas on the download page just 32 or what.

If you read the hardware requirements section of the documentation, you'd know it was 64 bit only. Support for 32 bits has been dropped.

Again, the recommendatation is not to jump that many versions.

btw, how did you install "9.3 on a new stick"?

I installed by burning the full version to cd and uploaded my config to it. It seems to be running fine.

When you say "running fine" do you mean that the problem is resolved?

[gpsguy]

Just in case someone else has the same problem, how did you resolve the issue?

Glad to hear it is working!
