Pfsense unable to boot anymore
-
hey im using pfsense 1.2-release, and ever sine i first made this router and installed pfsense the router tends to lock up after about 3-5 days of usage, so i would just retart it, i wouldn't be able otget on the webgui, console, internet would die, no LAN, everything would just die. this was fine as long as it came back after a restart. well tonight while watching some TV shows over my wireless it did it again, except this time it stops after loading freeBSD while loading pfsense. i get this error message:
SMP: AP CPU #1 LAunched!
Manual root filesystem specification:
<fstype>: <device>Mount <device>using filesystem <fstype>eg. ufs:da0s1a
? List valid disk boot devices
<empty line="">abort manual inputmountroot>
i reboot and get the same thing. right now im using an old crappy d-link DI-524 so any assistance would be greatly appreatiated so i can retire this d-link again :D thanks.
P.S. if i type in ? and push enter it gives me this then reprints the same menu:
List of GEOM managed disk devices:
ad0s1c ad0s1b ad0s1a ad0s1 ad0</empty></fstype></device></device></fstype> -
For me it sounds like the install never really worked. I can't give you any hint or smart commands for it.
If it was my pc i would be looking for a BIOS update and then make a fresh install with the 1.2.1 snapshot (soon to be RC1). -
alright i'll wait until RC1 gets released and then i'll try a fresh install. i'll update once i try this.
