Had 3 panics on my CARP master and 1 on my backup - I assume they were panics, lost comms to them but no physical access, just cycled power remotely. I just entered the tunable requested, I will update when/if something happens. I will upload a drawing of my network config when I get to the office, as well as more config details.

Had another panic on my master this morning as I was doing up a quick drawing - looks like the same situation, even with the pptp tunable noted by ermal. It ran fine for almost 14 hours yesterday before the first one last night (from 9:05 am to 10:56 pm). Anyway, screenshots from this mornings panic:
Now, here is a basic layout of my config:
Directly connected to the Sync interface is an identical box with all other interfaces running in parallel. Our WAN is a static connection. DHCP is served out to our corp LAN, remote office LAN, and a couple of our WiSP VLANs (625, 626) - I do not have the CARP backup DHCP turned on. The only VPN I have configured is OpenVPN (one server connection). The only package installed is the OpenVPN client config export utility. I do have a number of virtual IPs configured for inbound and outbound NAT. No traffic shaping turned on. I think that's it for special stuff, let me know if more is required, or I can upload my config files.
I am still running on the build from Thu Feb 17 02:14:25 EST 2011, with the pptp fix tunable noted by ermal.

Is this the correct URL to find out what went into the latest snapshot?
https://rcs.pfsense.org/projects/pfsenseThis is the only commit on Feb 18 (as of 4:29 PM CST):
06:42 cmb pushed c7d56176 to pfsense/mainline on branch master -
It's in the pfsense-tools repo, not just pfsense.

Thanks! Seems I was missing half the action!

Now I feel like I'm missing the action. I still can't find a new snapshot.

I just upgraded from 1.3 to the latest 2.0 RC1 snapshot and I'm getting the dreaeded malloc kernel panic. This is happening on two machines in a vmware esxi environment. It basically just keeps rebooting. I see there is a bug report about vmware tools causing the issue. How do I go about uninstalling vmtools?
Thanks! -
My 2 CARP boxes have been running on the Beta5 build from Mon Feb 21 19:15:26 EST 2011 without any issues for 9 days, 14:12.
-
Per Jim P, I followed his comment: "Boot to single user mode, touch /conf/needs_package_sync, and then reboot."
That seems to have fixed the issue.

i just installed snort package today. it seems to be working fine but after some time causes kernel panic. i remove snort and observe the box to see what happened. if the panic will occur again i take a pic.
i use the latest RC1 build.

locking this thread because people keep hijacking it, the original issue is resolved, start a new thread if you have an issue.
