So, I can’t reproduce this issue, can you show me full update process? Begin command:

@wins do you have another bootable versions VyOS for updating on this router?

wins · September 6, 2019, 7:24am

No.
wins@vyos:~$ show system image
The system currently has the following image(s) installed:

1: gatekeeper (default boot)

I can provide admin-access to this router (there is only testing enviroment) if nessesary.

Dmitry · September 6, 2019, 1:51pm

If it possible, I want to see this issue, because I can’t reproduce its. I wrote mail to you

Dmitry · September 10, 2019, 12:21pm

Hi @wins, did you have successfully updated system after reinstallation?

wins · September 10, 2019, 5:28pm

Changing boot mode from uefi to bios solves problem.
Probably vendor-specific bug.
@Dmitry thanks a lot
