      As a start, you can install the developer kernel.

      After the panic type "bt" at the debugger console and capture that info as well as the panic.

      Directions for installing the developer kernel are at the following link

        Hi Guys,

        Here I have the same problem when I active the Squid…

        I´m testing since version: pfSense-2.0-BETA5-20101228-0454.iso.gz to pfSense-2.0-BETA5-20110101-1659.iso.gz.

        If I don´t use Squid the problem doesn´t hapen... this was done in a lab, about ten users were use to test.

        We need open a Bug to report this...

        Luiz Ferreira.

          Since those snapshots are nearly a week old, before you report any problem, make sure it can be reproduced on the most current snapshot available.

          And if you get a panic, we need the full text of the panic (even a picture of the screen is OK) and if possible, install a debug kernel (as PJ2 mentioned) and get a backtrace.

          Be careful with posting or reporting bugs to an existing thread or ticket about panics, too, since they could be unrelated unless the circumstances and panic message are identical.

            The panic shows still after a most recent update [2.0-BETA5 (i386) built on Wed Jan 5 03:16:13 EST 2011].  Same panic as above.
            If it helps out any, I am running 2008 r2 and connecting using a win7 client.  I noticed the panic happens after the kerbros handshake, when it is "initiating remote connection"

            EDIT: I tried do load the developer kernel on my Soekris board and it didn't work, using the above link and instructions.  It actually crashed the system and wouldn't boot.  I will try it on the p4 later today, hopefully I won't have the same outcome.

            EDIT EDIT: This is a copy of this afternoons crash from my home system.

            Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
            cpuid = 0; apic id = 00

            Rebooting...
            

            The firewall crashed while I was out and trying to remote into my home system.  I am using squid in transparency mode.  I haven't tried disabling squid.

              Is anyone else able to get the panic logged?  I can't get the developer setup on either one of the firewalls.  I can't afford the downtime.

                I had a thread started on this here from dec 13, but noticed this one
                http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,31031.msg163019.html#msg163019

                i just posted this pic on my thread.

                EDIT: If this helps, i have mutiple vlans on em1 on this box. A few of the other firewalls with the problem, no vlans on the interface.

                    I have exactly the same kernel crashes in FreeBSD7 and 8. To me, it seems to be related to VLAN tags and NICs.

                        Looks like it may be in the Intel driver… fun.

                            Hopefully it's fixable, though lem is legacy em, so it's some rather old/early em chipsets. Might explain why so few people have hit it.

                              If it is an intel problem, then why would I be recieving the same problem on my soekris net5501-70 board? that uses a VIA VT6105M chip.

                                Without a backtrace from there it's impossible to say.

                                  where do you see it is an old legacy nic/driver? (not questioning, just Curious) :)
                                  just an fyi, had no problem with oct snaps.

                                  Thanks for your help

                                      Hmm - that line looks similar to the panic I get when captive portal is enabled on my box.

                                      
                                      exclusive sleep mutex fxp0 (network driver) r = 0 (0xc36de018) locked @ /usr/pfSensesrc/src/sys/dev/fxp/if_fxp.c:1288
                                      
                                      

                                      Details here:

                                      CryoGenID gets a panic but with yet another set of drivers.  Cino does as well.

                                      Is there anything we can do to help besides posting back traces?

                                        I just spent a bit of time on the phone with someone who hit this. It does seem to be related to OpenVPN somehow (or the kind of traffic that is seen more often with OpenVPN I suppose). Once we had the developer kernel on it stayed up for quite a while until we had someone connect with OpenVPN and generate some traffic.

                                          A patch was just committed by ermal that might be a potential fix for this, or at least change the behavior somewhat. Give the next snapshot a try.

                                            Just as a side note I was getting a kernal panic with the PPPOA interface being selected to WAN rather than rl1. Not sure if that is due to incorrect config but if so might be worth removing to save people the hassle.
