PfSense Crashed
-
@markuhde - i know you didnt. was somebody else mangling my earlier comment about pfsense rocks. which it does!
Moving swiftly on - all my 32-bit builds are happy running Thu Apr 25 09:08:19 EDT 2013, which I think was the last snapshot prior to the broken one. All good this end!
-
Looking at today's build log, seems like the error from the weekend is gone (I think it was a sig 15 during a make world). A build seems to be running now.
-
Ahh..whew!! That's a good crash!
At least it wasn't someone on the network trying to play master hacker.
-
Anyone dare load today's build yet?

Why, the 24th April build is running soooooo well… :D
-
The changes that caused the crashes have been reverted.
So the new snapshots are safe.I would have been interested on your backtraces shown in the info when you rebooted pfSense, if you can get those.
-
I confirm… after a remote update the box is still there...
Thank Ermal to you and all the staff!

So was it the build process crashing that caused the issue, or a code change?
If code change, what was it? Just curious as to what has such strange effects.Oh, yes, and also, so far no issues with the new build…
-
Thank you everybody! Updating now (no one's on the campground today so it's perfect for this).

Hi.
How do you do a backtrace?
I'm doubtful if I can do it now. I re-installed from scratch and my latest backup were from December 2012. Serves me right!
In any case, on that particular system running an intel atom 1.3Ghz processor with Realtek daughterboard NIC card, all is well when rebooted with no network cables connected. The second I connect the LAN cable, there is a huge amount of data that starts scrolling up the screen, then it stops for half-a-sec, and reboots. Will do this repeatedly.
When cable is already connected, the screen halts at either NTP Configured or WAN Configured, then you hear the sound it makes when there is supposedly a successful reboot or restart.

Just tried today's build - 2.1-BETA1 (amd64) built on Mon Apr 29 09:14:28 EDT 2013.
So far, so good.

Seems like you looked at the i386 build vs amd64, which is what I'm running. Not sure how i386 is working out.

Oops my bad…

My bet would be on this one:

What was the important s of the patches?
-
They weren't important. They'll have a performance improvement at some point in the future if they can be stabilized outside the main tree first.
