      @ermal:

      Can anyone of you please test with this kernel http://files.pfsense.org/kernel.gz
      Just copy it under /boot/kernel/kernel.gz on pfsense and reboot.

      ermal,
      I installed the kernel and it seems to work.
      I copied about 2gb of data with no problems.

          Hi,

          My setup consists of two boxes, both having quad intel nic's ("card=0x10a48086 chip=0x10a48086 rev=0x06" from pciconf -lvb).
          Both of the boxes run 2.0-BETA5 (amd64) built on Wed Jan 26 01:53:43 EST 2011.

          I have had three different types of errors occuring on these;
          1 - Box spontaneously reboots
          2 - Fatal trap 12 type error
          3 - Box freezes

          I only have the OpenOSPFD and Postfix Forwarder packages installed. No VLANs. Current uptime is 50 and 33 minutes. I am expecting one of these boxes to do #1, 2 or 3 above within the next 10 or so minutes. They've been doing that since the upgrade.
          (while writing this post, one of them did indeed die by freezing)

          Prior to upgrading these two, I had no panics, though I did have other errors, such as connections being reset, which was what prompted me to upgrade.

          Output of pciconf -lvb:

          The trap 12 error is as follows:

                Hello,

                I've just upgraded pfSense on my virtual machine to version:
                2.0-BETA5 (i386) built on Tue Jan 25 22:26:25 EST 2011
                and first time - kernel panic happend - never seen before.
                Updated from.. I don't know earilier version, but from January.
                Screenshot attached.

                UPDATE: just few hours after reboot, it hanged again without kernel error messages :(

                  tested again to be sure and the error did happen again.
                  Otherwise, i was connected much longer and is looking promising.

                    Can you type "bt"  at that db prompt and post the backtrace output?

                      In the ultimate of ironies, I installed the dev kernel about 5 hours ago and rebooted. I checked 5 minutes ago and pfsense was in panic. Unfortunately when I tried to save the console output my serial terminal program froze, probably because my nfs share had disappeared.

                      Fortunately, within 2 minutes of having pfsense back up again, and while composing this post, it panicked again. I've attached two files for your reading pleasure, but I'm back to the SMP kernel for now.

                      panic.txt
                      backtrace.txt

                        huh…just tested again but with a about 500mb

                        Did two transfers of this size during the same openvpn session and everything was fine.

                        Will keep an eye on it.

                        update: just happened again. I will try to get to the console.

                          Yeah this one is definitely new. When ermal comes online he should hopefully be able to spot the problem.

                            I understand the em is mainly a driver issue, but what about the soekris vr? Is that just a driver issue too?

                              Not sure. It may be a more general bug that certain driver code is more likely to hit. Ermal had some ideas based on the testing done here with that custom kernel yesterday, but he was pretty overloaded with other stuff so I'm not sure if that specific fix made it in last night. Plenty of other changes went in though.

                                After 2 hours 40 minutes, one of the firewalls panicked again. This time it didn't freeze though, so I managed to get a backtrace. Here's what it says:

                                Stopped at    pf_state_tree_id_RB_REMOVE_COLOR+0x90:    cmpl    $0x1,0xa  (rest is not visible on the photo)

                                [might be an error or two, I typed that off of a photo]

                                Cheers.

                                  You have any ftp/pptp traffic going in?

                                    Only very little ftp, but that doesn't seem to trigger it.
                                    I do, however, have quite a bit of http traffic (~300-600mbit) from a million or so clients.

                                      Nope, still a problem.  I updated the carp backup to the latest snapshot (Jan 26, with the master still on Jan 24), added a new VIP addr on the master, and the backup immediately panic'd.

                                        Hi! this is my first post on this forum.

                                        I have been using pfsense for one year, I have installed it on a alix 2d3 an on a jetway nc9c-550lf. since 1 month pfsense rebooting itself on both installation.

                                        The snapshot is 2.0-BETA5 (i386) built on Wed Jan 26 09:44:03 EST 2011

                                        On screen I see this messages:

                                          Without the output of "bt" at that debug prompt, it's hard to say. Yours doesn't look like the other panics in this thread.
