          fix did not work.

          Maybe fix was not in this build?

            It should have been.

            So it still crashed the exact same way, with the same panic in the same place?

              @LostInIgnorance:

              Did notice this from both panics though.

              Panic from old P4 computer:

              Kernel page fault with the following non-sleepable locks held:
              exclusive sleep mutex em0 (EM TX Lock) r = 0 (0xc2f52580) locked @ /usr/pfSensesrc/src/sys/dev/e1000/if_lem.c:1350
              

              Panic from Soekris board:

              Kernel page fault with the following non-sleepable locks held:
              exclusive sleep mutex vr1 (network driver) r = 0 (0xc3640aec) locked @ /usr/pfSensesrc/src/sys/dev/vr/if_vr.c:1675
              

              Is it just coincidence?

              Hard to say for sure.

              I just setup my ALIX and opened a ton of browser tabs and pushed a bunch of traffic through it and I managed to crash Chrome but not the routerโ€ฆ I wish I could reproduce this.

                Here is the new screen shoot of the panic.
                Same symptoms, only when using openvpn

                  The key is only when you connect to OpenVPN and then after successful connection, open a browser and the page should time out and you should get disconnected from the OpenVPN connection.

                    I had ~10 browser tabs open to all kinds of sites, streaming a youtube video, and was copying a file over SMB, all over OpenVPN from a client on the WAN side of my ALIX.

                    Perhaps it's a bug specific to the vr chip in the Soekris.

                      If it is a specific issue to the vr chip, then why am I getting the same type of panic with the em (as I had posted above)?

                        Bad luck? :-)

                        The em chips hit by this are specific older chips that fall under the "legacy em" ("lem") portion of the driver code.

                          LOL, seems to be me only that has the bad hardware then.

                          EDIT: Did you try it with squid havp, etc. loaded on it?

                            Note the case for me,
                            Once connected i would start up outlook to sync to exchange and openvpn would crash
                            Same goes with doing a file/folder copy from host network to openvpn client.

                                I haven't tried it with squid, I'll load that on next. Do you have the OpenVPN server assigned as an interface and squid listening there? Otherwise, squid wouldn't be doing anything to the traffic coming from OpenVPN

                                  No I am not having squid listen to anything but the 3 different vr networks.ย  I am just wondering if the setup may have something to do with it.ย  Doesn't hurt to recreate it completely.

                                    fair enough. I'll give it a go.

                                      Jimp,
                                      it was most likely missed in this thread, but in my original thread with this problem from 12/13
                                      had the packages i am running.ย  http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,31031.msg165512.html#msg165512

                                      Packages i am running:
                                      Squid
                                      Squid Guard
                                      Snort
                                      OpenVPN Export
                                      Light Squid
                                      Anyterm

                                      If need be, i can test by stopping Squid and suchโ€ฆ.

                                        It might be worth trying without any packages. (the only one I have is OpenVPN client export) to see if it makes a difference.

                                        One thing - for everyone seeing the panic on em(4) devices, the output from

                                        pciconf -lvb
                                        

                                        For the em card seen in the crash would be helpful.

                                          ??? JimP, I am a little confused, do you want me to type that in after the crash happens and the db comes up? If not, what would you like from the crash?

                                            I have a net5501-70, a Pro 1000GT (pci), and a spare pppoe DSL line. Jim, I can set this up with openvpn if you want to test against it. I have no experience with openvpn though, so would need some guidance setting that up.

                                            Also note that my DSL line has pretty poor sync rates right now, and occasional disconnects, which is why it's not in use :/
