Crash dump on latest
-
I'm running the latest release of PfSense CE virtualize on Promox 8.0 Linux 6.2.16-3 on a 4 port Intel N6005.
I was running the latest PfSense+ which also took a core with the exact setup. I downgraded to CE via a new install to align with the license changes. I restored a backup from PfSense+ and the new version was running for approximately 20 hours before it took this core.
The VM is using the nic1 and nic2 through virtio and nic3 and nic4 are PCI passthru. Nic1 is the management port for both Proxmox and PfSense.

Make sure you have the latest BIOS/microcode for that platform. Jasper Lake CPUs as hypervisors are known to have issue with that causing panics:

@stephenw10 I was one version behind so I updated to the latest Intel firmware. It is still interesting that the system was running almost a year before I ran into the panics with the latest FfSense image.
For those running Debian 11, the instructions on Debian site have not be updated. The Intel firmware is located in non-free-firmware so you need to add the following:
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm main contrib non-free-firmware
Thanks for leads and I hope this stabilizes everything
