PfSense Crashed
-
I am not running CP. I am running squid, rrd summary, git and pfblocker. I am also running traffic shaping and powerd. I just completed an upgrade from Last friday to this morning's latest.
-
I'm not running CP either. I got the system up and running by rolling back to a snap from a few days ago. When it wasn't crashed but not working I had a large number of "No Traffic" states.
-
got the same problem here with that snapshot (i386) and not running anything special - just basic config + OpenVPN.
-
I'm seeing crashed on an AMD64 machine as well.
-
Yep. crashed here too after upgrading at 5PM EST.
-
Mee too!!
from 2.1-BETA1 (i386) built on Thu Apr 25 09:08:19 EDT 2013
to 2.1-BETA1 (i386) built on Thu Apr 25 20:52:41 EDT 2013stays up for about 4 minutes then crash/automatic reset.
Crash dump submitted from gui, hope it got there.
Thanks for pfsense!
-
same here.
2.1-BETA1 (i386)
built on Thu Apr 25 20:52:41 EDT 2013
FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE-p7reboots about every 5-10 minutes.
I happened to catch this message right before reboot in case it matters:
panic: hfsc_dequeue
I also submitted a crash report.
-
I noticed some stability issues few weeks back and made a post but every one was saying there was no problem…. don't know if it was related to the OP issues or the problems others are having here.
Different symptoms, but couple of weeks back it locked up 3 or 4 times over the course of 2 weeks or so. Knock on Wood it has since been stable other than stuck wireless beacon and errors which at some point I'll try to figure out what the deal is with that. The wireless is functioning with the errors but when the beacon gets stuck it requires a reboot.
-
I'm seeing very similar crashes (and one complete freeze with only "em0: discard frame without header" on the console) with the Thu Apr 25 21:20:47 EDT 2013 build, which at the moment is the latest one. I just updated from a version from Tuesday where I did not see that problem. Crashes uploaded from GUI.

Another failure mode is the text "ipsec_filter: m_pullup failed" on the console and then a hard hang, no crash or reboot. There seems to be something seriously wrong with this kernel.

-
I'm getting the same failure as well, but there is not auto reboot. The system just hangs after a few hours and I have to manually reset it using the hw reset switch
-
I'm guessing at this point we can be pretty confident something just went awfully, horribly wrong :) Thanks pfSense team for all your hard work, it's times like these that we appreciate how much goes into making a project like this happen!
-
Same here… from an Alix board, looking at the console, the system is locked in boot-looping, restarting at some ramdom points... :S
-
Ok, I post just to help someone in the case. The easiest way I found to recover pfSense to a working state was restoring a full backup from an image I made some time ago.
Just connect to the console, control+break the system while it is initializing, and run:/etc/rc.restore_full_backup /root/pfSense-full-backup-20130219-2240.tgz
(just change pfSense-full-backup-20130219-2240.tgz with the filename of the full backup).Then, just wait for the process to complete and when it's done run: reboot
Finally, you can restore the latest configuration from the webadmin interface.
Ciao,
Michele -
crashes here also and i guess no new snaps also being generated as builder seems down
-
I was also stuck in a panic loop on the latest snapshot. Disconnecting from external networks prevented random rebooting as the panics were on network events. I am rolling back at present to pfSense-Full-Update-2.1-BETA1-i386-20130420-1706 hoping it's stable.
A crash dump was successfully saved and has been submitted to the developers.
-
For mine, I had same panics on network activity. It would not stay up long enough to download a previous firmware version and apply it before it crashed.
It would also not recover from what I thought I had as a full backup.
I finally managed it by a) downloading the firmware to a webserver nearby. I also had to boot the pfsense box with option 2 disabling ACPI.
I then specified to upgrade firmware by URL and entered the nearby server. Back online now.
There may have been an easier way of doing it but thats what worked for me.
pfsense still rocks!

-
found myself today with Alix crashing after the upgrade
for those who run 'embedded', just switch to the second slice, which should hold the previous build installed.
and yeah… pfSense rocks ;D
-
Yeah… it rocks... most of the time. Yesterday's build though sucks rocks.
What happened? Must have been something pretty fundamental, but nothing significant shows up in commit history!
