Latest 1.2.3-20091106-2354 Randomly reboots
-
I have had this problem and rolled back to RC1 which has fixed the issue. I am using http://linitx.com/viewproduct.php?prodid=11714. At first I thought is was bad memory as I got paging errors but mem test came clean, and a roll back sorted.
I haven't gone back to RC3 as yet test test it again.
-
Is it possible that the re-introduction of the padlock driver is causing this?

Whatever it is, I rather suspect that it is related to the Via platform - I follow the snapshots closely with other systems, and only the Via C3 box is rebooting. Snapshots from 2 months ago were stable.
-
If you're curious, I have an image up that only differs from RC3 in that it has padlock enabled.

I don't have an equivalent without padlock though.
-
Its beautiful now - no reboots in the last 12 hours (it was happening every 2 hours approx). It makes me wonder what has changed - was it at all related to padlock, or just a coincidence?
-
No reboots with the same image you had? Or with the image I posted?
-
No reboots with your RC3 + padlock you posted - thanks
-
Ok, so it's probably not padlock then. Perhaps some other change since I built that one, or a bad builder run of some kind.
-
As a side note - Are there any plans to have padlock enabled (package added) to 1.2.3-Release?
-
Padlock should already be back in current snapshots of 1.2.3. It was added back a week or so ago.
-
I will do some tests with my system but I ran kldstat and I don't see the padlock driver being list although I am a novice so not sure if this is right.
I am running 1.2.3 RC3 so I will see if the reboot kicks back in.
-
1.2.3-RC3 build 7/11/09 still reboots.
-
I ran kldstat and I don't see the padlock driver being list . . ..
I expect that, in common with other drivers, the padlock driver is built into the kernel.
-
I have put the firmware listed above and it works fine but the latest snapshot doesn't.
-
Yes but not to sure on the build differences to cause a reboot.
-
Does any of the Devs know what is causing this.
-
I'm not sure anyone has even reproduced it, let alone knows what is causing it on your hardware.
-
I was wondering if there has been a driver change.
-
The only changes to drivers have been for Atheros wireless cards (ath0), and even then the change is simply reverting something that changed between RC2 and RC3.
-
Do you know what the difference is between the firmware listed above and the latest snapshot.
The RC1 works fine the firmware listed above work but the latest snapshot doesn't.
-
There are a lot of changes. Too many to list. Changes to pfSense code, patches, tools repo changes, etc. Hundreds of changes at least, maybe more.
Unless you can pinpoint with a little more accuracy what might actually be causing the reboots, it will be impossible to track. There should be a debugging kernel on the CD, available as an option when you install. (There are ways to switch kernels live, if you know how, the kernels are in /kernels/) If you switch to a debug kernel it should stop with an error instead of rebooting.
