This is why we advocate reinstalling.  We didnt handle every update case for betas.

Hello, now it rocks! We have changed the HDD from Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 (80 GB) to Samsung SP4011N (40 GB PATA). We did not change anything in the BIOS from Defaults. I loaded the newest RELENG Build and all runs fine. The Seagate 7200.9 SATA and PATA runs definitely not with the Intel Board E7221 and Pfsense. You need to use another HDD. Greetings Heiko

@Darth_Potato: My local time is 8:54PM now. Also I have and different measures in RRD Graphs - on WAN in 114.64MB, but on LAN out 129.43MB :o Maybe this is linked with time-bugs Different Traffic between interfaces is normal. You have some traffic at WAN for example that will be blocked but that is seen from your WAN interface. Also some broadcasts that are seen at the LAN interface won't be routed out the WAN though they hit your LAN interface. Btw, this ACPI-fast is the setting that works on my IBM eserver x330 server. You probably don't have this counter at your system but maybe others. My server offers 3 timecounters but this is the one that I found out to work ok. Check what counters are available at your system and try all of them.

We covered it in the other thread.  Locking this one.

@sullrich: @Emab: Just upgrade to the leatest snapshot: Now the web interface work correctly Duing the boot, I can read via serial console these last line: ....... Starting OpenNTP time client...done. Starting CRON... done. Syncing packages: XML error: not well-formed (invalid token) at line 1 Executing rc.d items... Starting /usr/local/etc/rc.d/*.sh...done. Bootup complete Unfortunately you probably need to restore a config.xml backup prior to the 03/28/07 image. I restored an old config file and now all run ok! Perfect! Thank you!!

Although proprietary, the Cisco ASA is a nice firewall.  Why would you want to load pfSense on it?  That would be like trying to retrofit Vyatta on a Cisco IOS router.  ???  :o (No offense to the pfSense or Vyatta developers….) Robert

I too have the "disk is dirty" messages during boot on a standard pc with 256 mb CF (platform set to embedded) this looks scary but everything's performs OK

You shouldn't run different Accesspoints at the same channel (not even if they share the same SSID and Settings). Everything not at least 2 channels away is influencing each other and will cause impact on throughput though it will work.

Thanks Hoba.

Writing a 64 mb partition to a 128 mb card will work as well. However you might want to try the latest snapshot as these images are 128 mb by default: http://snapshots.pfsense.com/FreeBSD6/RELENG_1/embedded/

Thankyou Sai, I will try that soon.

ok thanks hoba for the point for download looks like a good improvement from 9 months ago.  Look forward to seeing it stable.

Thanks Again hoba,   But still no go :( My Loader.conf looks like this :- autoboot_delay="10" hint.acpi.0.disabled=0 But when boot the Box using option 1,  It crashes with a general protection fault when load the network card drivers.  If I use option 2 it boots fine.  I'm just concerned that if the power goes down,  the box will not start unless there is someone here to select option 2 :) Thanks for your help Knotty

Sounds like a DNS Issue maybe? If you can reach the modem you can pass through pfsense.

@guybrush: i know this how-to… but he is physdiskwriting the .gz-archive onto the flash, can this be true?? Yes, physdiskwrite is smart enough to handle .gz's directly  ;)

Thanks for the info.  Currently got the HD hanging out the side of the case and that is working (connected via ide) but clearly this is less than ideal.  Oh well seems like that will have to do for now.
