Description

Recent versions of pfSense-upgrade include code for collecting handling errors in order to present it to the user as useful feedback.

It will currently alert to drive space errors and bootloader install errors specifically. It can also show unknown errors which is better than having to dig though logs but can be improved.

One error it may show is:

Upgrade

    check_upgrade (3): unknown error @ 2024-04-16 15:12:00

It's unclear which code path creates that but it should be handled better.

I encountered this on clean install to 4100 with: pfSense-plus-memstick-serial-24.03-RELEASE-amd64.img.
The error was generated while the device did not have DNS service. Once DNS service restored, the error resolved.

If the error could have flagged a DNS issue that would be nice.
