        @DimitriRodis:

        After you do that, can you try a fresh flash? I've only tried fresh flashes, and have still not been able to repro watchdogs on 2.0 (even with 3 cat /dev/random running).

        I'll see if I can get a chance for a fresh flash this weekend. A single cat /dev/random will make my box fire off a few watchdog errors, become unresponsive for 2-3 minutes, and eventually end with a dead ssh session, every time I've tried.

          Also, if you are able to repro on a fresh flash, can you try a capture?

          tcpdump s 0 -w /tmp/re1.pcap -ni re1

          (Replace re1 with re0 or re2, etc–whichever interface is giving you timeouts).

            I noticed in your dmesg output:
            –---
            ACPI Error (tbxfroot-0308): A valid RSDP was not found [20070320]                                                   
            ACPI: Table initialisation failed: AE_NOT_FOUND                                                                     
            ACPI: Try disabling either ACPI or apic support.                                                                     
            –---

            I don't have this in my dmesg output. What's in your /boot/loader.conf?

              Defaults, plus disable DMA for my CF card (wouldn't work otherwise) and a commented out disable ACPI (tried on 1.2.2 to stop watchdog errors).

              cat /boot/loader.conf

              autoboot_delay="1"
              vm.kmem_size="435544320"
              vm.kmem_size_max="535544320"
              kern.ipc.nmbclusters="0"
              hw.ata.ata_dma=0
              #hint.acpi.0.disabled=1

                From a standard 2.0 flash, /boot/loader.conf contains:

                hw.ata.atapi_dma="0"
                hw.ata.ata_dma="0"
                loader_color="NO"
                console=comconsole
                autoboot_delay="5"
                hw.ata.wc="0"
                kern.ipc.nmbclusters="0"
                beastie_disable="YES"
                vm.kmem_size="435544320"
                vm.kmem_size_max="535544320"

                  If you are able to get into the BIOS on your firebox, can you make sure you are testing with ACPI enabled? The error on your dmesg indicates that ACPI might be turned off in the BIOS.

                    If I can find the PS2 port pinout for the motherboard, a PS2 connector I can repurpose, a PCI video card, and the time, I'll see what I can manage. Unless there is an easier way I'm missing?

                      I just tried turning on TSO on re1 (the interface I always see watchdog's on) and it definitely increased the time before cat'ing /dev/random caused an error. It still happened, but it took 1-2 minutes instead of 15 seconds. During the time I was cat'ing /dev/random, I definitely did notice a performance hit - I ran a speed test before and during, got 6.5mbit before and 4mbit (consistently). Still not fixed, but this seems like progress… I'll still try to get a clean image on at some point in the next few days to see if that helps.

                        I know I've never been in the BIOS of my fireboxes, just seems strange to see those odd messages in your dmesg output.

                        Don't tear up a connector yet– just do a fresh flash to 2.0 and test that way and let me know.

                          Just FYI, haven't been able to reproduce timeouts on 2.0 still, using cat /dev/random. As you can see, about 40GB of traffic has come out of that interface, Not a single watchdog timeout on 2.0.

                            The problem still exists after a clean reinstall. Tested against 2009-04-25 17:12 build, with the following configuration:

                            • Added to /boot/loader.conf:
                              hw.ata.ata_dma=0
                            • Configured interfaces (set WAN=re0, set LAN=re1, configured IP/netmask on re1)
                            • Configured DHCP (reservations, address range, domain name, NTP server)

                            Cat'ing /dev/random still causes watchdog errors within 15-20 seconds. ACPI errors still show in dmesg. I also reset BIOS settings to defaults (via front LCD panel), with no noticeable changes.

                              Any particular reason you're editing loader.conf and adding hw.ata.ata_dma=0? Like I said, Im using all defaults– the only other diff that I can see between you and me (besides the ACPI error) is that you are using re1 for LAN, and I am using re2 (normally I leave re0 and re1 in case I have multiple WANs-- my re1 is empty currently).

                              What is your LAN interface plugged into (a switch I presume? what kind)? My re2 (LAN) is plugged directly into my laptop with a crossover cable. I have also changed speed/duplex settings on my laptop during tests last week just to be sure there isn't a problem with a particular speed, and there is not.

                              Would it be possible to plug your LAN interface directly into a computer (via crossover) to take the switch out of the equation?

                              I am still puzzled by the ACPI errors in your dmesg output-- I have 3 firebox x5/7/1000 series units, and none of them have that error during bootup.

                                Ok, so I just flashed a 2.0 image, and changed my LAN interface to be re1 instead of re2–- guess what? watchdog timeouts.

                                  That is odd, because I changed my LAN interface to re2 and still had watchdog timeouts. I haven't yet had a chance to connect directly without a switch, to see if that makes any difference. I'm currently running a Linksys SD2008, which is a 8-port unmanaged gig switch - By this weekend I'll probably have a Cisco 2950-24 sitting inline between the Firebox and Linksys. I'll update this thread with the results of direct vs Cisco vs Linksys, once I get to test.

                                    For those of you watching this thread–stay tuned. I am still working with Pyun. I have another patch to test!

                                        I have to say, ever since this thread was started I've been having more and more watchdog timeouts.

                                        In previous builds I would get them very seldom (not even once a day), but since whatever code was changed to fix this I am seeing them, on average, 5 times a day, often for about a minute each time.

                                        Nothing has changed configuration wise between builds, I'm running WAN on re0, LAN on re1, DMZ on re2 and Wifi on re4/5. From what I can tell I never have any timeouts on re0/1.

                                        In any case, I'll give it a few more builds, but unless we can get it fixed I'll have to roll back to the earlier build as the system, as it stands today, is getting to be unusable (and yes, I know, don't run v2.0 in production :p).

                                          There have only been 2 patches that have even made it into the publicly downloadable builds, and 1 of them was late late yesterday. My guess is that you are seeing more watchdog timeouts due to something changing in your environment as opposed to changes in pfSense– since, with respect to the Realtek interface code, it has only changed twice (and one of those changes was for the better), the other patch that just got put in yesterday will likely be rolled back since it did not seem to improve things (and it actually may have made it worse). Working with the driver maintainer is challenging since there is a 17 hour time difference between he and I, plus I need to have his patches incorporated and wait for a new build to test before I can get back to him.

                                          Like I said, stay tuned. When I've worked out something that appears to have solved it, I will need people like you to beat it up--originally, I thought I had it licked (since it solved the particular problem that I was causing), but there are still others present.

                                            Hello Dimitri

                                            got a firebox x500 off of ebay and was hoping i wouldnt run into the watchdog errors with the realtec network cards, but i wasnt that lucky.

                                            gave pfSense-1.2.3-20090708-1942 snapshot a test tonight and i am able to reproduce the watchdog errors with the cat /dev/urandom  test or even by installing the NUT package and then going to the web interface "Services -> NUT" about 5-8 secs after the page starts to load i get the following error in the console:

                                            
                                             re2: watchdog timeout
                                            
                                            

                                            once this error pops up in the console screen i am unable to ping to/from that interface until i hardpower off the x500 device. From the console if i hit 5 "Reboot System" or type reboot  pfsense starts running the shutdown process but then stops at the "Rebooting…" message.

                                            Another oddity

                                            Running "halt system" from the console menu works until i hit the "press any key to reboot" part. As soon as i hit the "AnyKey" the speaker on the x500 screams like crazy. Both "reboot" and "halt/reboot" work just fine until the watchdog errors starts to pop up.  Any other debugging i can do on my end to help?
