      I am trying to get a site to site VPN going between a pfSense firewall and a Cisco ASA.  It seems that phase 1 works, but phase 2 fails.

      Here is my error log from pfSense:

      Nov 8 15:11:00 racoon: ERROR: failed to pre-process packet.
      Nov 8 15:11:00 racoon: ERROR: failed to get sainfo.
      Nov 8 15:11:00 racoon: ERROR: failed to get sainfo.
      Nov 8 15:11:00 racoon: WARNING: ignore INITIAL-CONTACT notification, because it is only accepted after phase1.
      Nov 8 15:11:00 racoon: []: INFO: respond new phase 2 negotiation: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx[0]<=>yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy[0]

      Here is my error log from Cisco:

        Let's try to narrow down a few things.  What ASA Model and OS version are you running?  I would suggest limiting the protocol/encryption/hash to ESP-3DES-MD5 and disable or disallow all the others.  When phase 1 completes on the Cisco side and you try to ping through from the Cisco LAN to the pfSense LAN, does anything change (TTL?, RTT?)?

        I will lab this up with one of my work ASA's to my home pfSense to offer some additional assistance.
