pfsense is crashing need help
-
Now I surf the internet through a mobile device
Because the pfsense system does not come up at all
In the middle of activation it just hangs
Is there a way to save it or just reinstall -

Do you have a screenshot?

If the filesystem is readable you can reinstall pfSense and choose to pick up the config file from the disk.
Or install with default settings and restore from backup. -

@firefox
Ok, this doesn't tell me much. Maybe someone else can help here.
Seems to happen on a very early point of the boot up process.
Maybe it could be a hardware failure. Can you check it with another live system? -

It may have just happened to be Snort that time.
Do the crash reports look the same every time?Steve

@stephenw10
how do i make it to boot up ?i did update snort becose there was an update
but the crashing start before i update
the pc boot up after first crashing i see there was an update so i did it
now it dosnt even boot upthe crash report is very long i add it to a file in the first message I wrote
Because there is a character limit for messages here and it was not possible to upload it -
this is the second screen i see when try to boot up
Every time I try to boot the system
It gets stuck in one of these two situations
This photo and the first photo I uploaded -
How did you get the crash dump file?
The backtrace is usually the most important part. But also the 'current process' line is what shows as Snort in that fort report. You should be able to see that at the console if it crashes again.
You can try booting into single user mode and manually editing the config or copying in an older config.

the first time it happen
the computer did boot up even in the second time
So I could copy the crash report@stephenw10 said in pfsense is crashing need help:

i try to boot in singel user mode and it dont work
every time i try it stuck and i get difrent screen -
@firefox
All this looks like a hardware failure, a memory failure, or maybe a storage, I don’t know…
Perhaps due to a failure, the file system is completely damaged. -
If the actual crash is different every time that does start to look like hardware. Is it actually returning a different backtrace?

If this is an unofficial Netgate SSD, I would suggest you replace that before a reload. It has issues pointing to files. Or memory, but the system bios runs. . .
Replace the SSD and reload it.
-
hardware failure It means to reinstall
Because pfsense is installed on one ssd disk
If I remove it I have no option to reload itWhen checking the bios I get a message that the disk is good
I checked the disc
the memoriesI will try to replace the memories before I replace the SSD
Otherwise it's reinstall everything -
@firefox We had some issues with Cisco routers doing this a couple years ago during the holidays. Cisco had information on a set of products that had defective RAM causing the memory pointer error. We must have replaced hundreds of memory sticks after that preemptively. This looks exactly like that. Good catch. Let us know how it turns out with the new memory sticks. You're right on with isolationing the issue.

@JonathanLee
the pc is from hp
it has some random ssd i got from another pc i had (it was working fine for almost Five years maybe a little more)
i will check about the memory sticksI'll deal with it on Friday
Then I will update -
@firefox
What file system is pfsense installed on? -
@w0w
Do you mean the format of the disk?In any case, a small update, I only got to mess with it today
I replaced the computer's memories
There were 4 sticks of 4 gigabytes, that is 16 gigabytes
I removed them and put 2 new ones of 4 GB
Meanwhile the computer is workingI surf through another router
If by the end of the day it doesn't cause problems I will add 2 more new 4 gig sticks
Then wait to see what happens -

https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/install/install-zfs.html
I mean when you have installed it which one filesystem you have been selected? ZFS or UFS? -
@w0w
When I installed I did an automatic installation without any additional settings
