From the trouble shooting link, the below is what cured my install! Thanks 8) Try using multiple partitions, one small one (~4GB) for / and another for /usr using the rest of the disk.

There are many ways to get in, even adding a rule on the CLI… http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/I_locked_myself_out_of_the_WebGUI,_help!

@Alan87i: If I run the upgrade too the july 6 snap do you think it will work or die? You mean 2.0.1 RELEASE? Normally, backup your settings and then updgrade. Take a look on packages topic to see if there is any current issue with packages you use.

thanks for your reply

i try this thx

thanks jimp! pfSense-memstick-2.1-DEVELOPMENT-amd64-20120702-2135.img.gz recognized the AHCI mode.

@cmb: now I did, and it works, at least on the fxp NICs.

ok solved it. For any who have similar issue PFsense (any version) cannot be installed using a live CD. You have to physically pull the drive and connect it to a PC then install pfsense, unplug it right after it reboots and it will then work. be great if this pita bug could be fixed.

ahh right yes, it does this and i choose a new MAC for each. Makes no difference still doesnt work.

I solved it so I figured I'd post my solution and mistakes: I was using opt1 for the connection from pfsense to the two linux boxes.  LAN wasn't really doing anything and the pfsense vm had 3 vNetwork Adapters.  I removed one of them from the pfsense box so the WAN was bridged and the second network adapter was connected to vnet2.  I also moved the lan to 10.1.1.x/24. This got everything working as far as I can tell.  Now I'm just playing around with squidguard.

There were binary changes for 2.0.2 that are required to use it, it isn't just a source upgrade. If you gitsync to RELENG_2_0 it will most likely leave you with a broken system. You can gitsync back to RELENG_2_0_1 and get back to 2.0.1-RELEASE code.

Not tar. Can use gunzip, or assuming you're on Windows since you're using Nero, just use 7-zip or your zip program of choice to extract it.

Thank you Jimp its working fine….. have a nice day...

Thank you for the advice! Will give it a shot and post my findings
