Random freezes

cmbaker82

I've also encountered these random freezes. I just posted a new topic about also before this topic showed up. I was running a build from 1/7 which did not have the issue and then upgraded to 1/19 and it started happening.

I had the same thing happen on the amd64 1/19 build. Upgraded to the 1/20 build this morning and have had over 8 hours of uptime so far.

Would "last couple days" go back to Jan 12? I had 8 days uptime until it froze about an hour ago. Fortunately I had a vga monitor connected. Unfortunately I didn't think to take a picture of it, and writing it all down at this hour was out of the question.

Fragments, as I recall:

"Page fault 12 while in kernel mode. Not using IRQ"
"em1 IRQ 259"
"not dumping. no device defined"
"rebooting in 15 seconds. press any key to abort"
"halting CPUs"

Then it froze, no actual reboot.

Sorry if that's too jumbled or incomplete to be useful. If there's a next time I'll grab the camera.

Is there a last known safe snap?

Thx cmb for the feedback, can you link the issue ticket please ?

@clarknova : according to your kernel message (em1) I think your issue is linked to this topic : http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,31721.0.html

The freeze I'm talking about in this thread gives no message back.

The crash/panic and the freeze are likely separate.

The freeze is from the FTP and PPTP proxy code, the crash/panic seems to be related to certain em older network card chipsets.

Thx Jimp !

Is there a way to deactive the ftpproxy during the time a fix is released ?

Check the thread that's already going for this topic, I gave instructions there:
