        I'm sorry, I think i am missing something elementary here.
        physdiskwrite using the pfSense-Embedded-Update-1.2-RC3.tgz - cannot boot after that

        Using an older image, I can boot up just fine.

        I notice that, with the new imagem using physdiskwrite I get:

        Found compressed image file
        62023680/62023680 bytes written in total

        and using and older image, I get:
        Found compressed image file
        122441728/122441728 bytes written in total

            Reinstalled from scratch using the suggested snapshot.
            Problem is still there. 
            2nd box is still showing lan-carp as master when captive portal is enabled.

            cat /etc/inc/captiveportal.inc | grep pfsync is not showing anything.

            note: reinstall done on both boxes..

                Our snapshot system is busted currently.  There is an open ticket that I need to check into.

                In the meantime, replace /etc/inc/captiveportal.inc with http://pfsense.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/pfSense/etc/inc/captiveportal.inc?rev=1.58.2.42.2.6;content-type=text%2Fplain;only_with_tag=RELENG_1_2

                  I replaced the captiveportal.inc you provided on both boxes.

                  • cat /etc/inc/captiveportal.inc | grep pfsync is showing:
                    $cprules =  "add 500 set 1 allow pfsync from any to any\n";

                  • ipfw show is showing:
                    00500 1347 328072 allow pfsync from any to any
                    00500 2086 116816 allow carp from any to any
                    00500  11    608 allow ip from 128.97.205.2 to any out via rl2

                  scenario #1

                  • box#1 (captiveportal ON), box#2 (captiveportal OFF).
                    On box#1 - wan-carp and lan-carp are both master
                    On box#2 - wan-carp is backup and lan-carp is master

                  Before replacing the file, this showed "backup" for both carps.

                  Scenario #2

                  • box#1 (captiveportal ON), box#2 (captiveportal ON).
                    Same as above.

                    Well I am at my wits end then.  This really should have fixed it.

                      I'm going to tear down everything and start from scratch all over again.
                      This time I will configure everything manually rather than upload the configuration.
                      I've encountered minor quirks before when uploading the config.  I will report back.
                      And thanks for your help.  I really appreciate it.

                        I had something like this with my cluster. (but not using CP I didn't think that worked with CARP has this been fixed?)

                        After running CARP for ages with no problems I decided to unplug the KVM from the slave to use on another machine. So I unplugged it and rebooted the slave and up it came all fine so went back to the WebGUI to check and after a few mins of fiddling the slave became master on the LAN on its own. So rebooted and same prob so I plugged the kvm back in and no problem.

                        It seemed to be having some issue sharing IRQs for the nics with no kvm attached. In the end I fiddled with the IRQ settings changing them from auto to fixed and it has been fine ever since.

                        I cant remember what the message was but it would pop up on the console

                        So might be worth a look
