I just updated our 425 appliance from 7.011 to 7.1 and now we are having authentication issues. Always being prompted for authentication and then we get an authentication failed message. Not going well here! I'd love some help if someone has an idea.
Well, finally had a problem, and it's pretty bizarre... have a customer with a custom built machine w/ ASG 50 user license (we built it, it's a little overkill with 2GB of RAM in it, but we'll never touch the swap with it!) with 3 intel PRO100 / S NICs in it. All has been fine until we applied the 7.100 up2date... suddenly no internet. Fortunately, we could get into webadmin through one of the other interfaces... it turns out the internet link was down... no lights on the card or anything. Swapping the cable for a crossover (it directly connects to an Adtran router) fixed it... I guess they updated that intel driver, and somehow the auto MDI/X function is now broken. In case any of you other guys have problems, check the link status, try a crossover cable, etc. -- it might be the same problem. I've reported the incident to Astaro support along with detailed HW info that will help them check it out.
Other than that, the migrations / updates have been going well.

You might be on to something. I've had no success upgrading to v7.100 and my homegrown firewall uses two "Intel Corporation 82557/8/9 [Ethernet Pro 100]" NICs (1).
I'll try another rebuild in a day or two and post the results.

That's how the Astaro describes the Intel NICs in this particular box. Bear in mind, the one that was misbehaving did start working after we changed the cable, but the problem was clearly tied to the update, as it worked fine for 3 months before this. I have gotten a response from Astaro concerning this case, and they are quite interested, and have also acknowledged that many drivers were updated with the new release.. .I guess we're just finding some of the hidden issues. Billk, I'd be interested to see if crossover cables / manual speed / duplex settings / or different NICs in the same box fix your problems.

Just updated to 7.100 this evening on our production 220 v1.
The install itself went smoothly if slow. Appeared to hang on the install of the Kernel package at 85%. I was patient and after about 10 minutes, it continued on with the ramaining packages rather quickly. Total time was around 20-25 minutes including reboot.
After re-entering WebAdmin, I flipped around a little bit, noticing that my list of sites to block in the http proxy had been successfully carried over to the new block list. Went to rejoin to our domain. In previous versions I had to use the single name for the domain, which would not work with 7.100 (tried both lower and upper case). Using the FQDN (e.g. domain.com) did work though, which wouldn't work in previous versions.
Logged onto a random workstation to check http connectivity, which worked just fine.
