PfSense crash during start-up
-
Hello,
after brute force power off of pfSense PC I can't start it again. It is crashing after Loading squid3 package. Link to video with problem: http://sendvid.com/e6ehmpj6
Is there any way to get it back working?
If not, is there any way to backup configuration? I think I can quickly restore my settings, but there are also user accounts created and e.g. I'm not able to create them again with current passowrds.Brgs,

Noone will be able to get any meaningful crash dump info from the scrolling video mess. User accounts and passwords are part of config.xml.

Sure, sorry. Finally I have access to shell and I've made xml backup.
Which logs I could provide to investigate? -
See this, perhaps? https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Obtaining_Panic_Information_for_Developers

It's probably a filesystem panic. The site hosting that video is complete shit, serving malvertising trying to get people to install fake antivirus programs.
Wipe and reload pfSense, restore the backup.
