    @heper:

    @jimp:

    A quick heads up, if you are running pfSense as a VM under ESXi 6.5.0 U1 (Bulld 6765664), read this: https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/2.4_New_Features_and_Changes#Known_Issues

    I believe I experienced the same thing with esxi 5.5 (remove if its something different)

    That looks like the same crash, strange. I have been running FreeBSD 11.1 on ESX 6.5.0 (not U1) for months and never saw that at all until I updated to U1. I updated the note on the wiki doc.

      Thx for the release and your work!

      I got the same boot problem under ESXI 6.0 Update 3a (latest version).

      I made a snapshot in advance and reverted this way the corrupt 2.4 installation. I added the line as provided in boot.local.conf and then the update and boot went fine but there were some PHP errors / warnings. But the second reboot went fine and 2.4 is up and running.

      Would be nice if there would be a post in the future when this problem is resolved and the line in boot.local.conf could be removed (if this makes a difference).

        We already have a patch staged in 2.4.1 to test, keep an eye on https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/7925 and https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=137628.0 for info.

          Upgrade from October 4th 2.4.0-RC snapshot to 2.4.0-RELEASE went smooth with no issues whatsoever.  Thanks for all your hard work on this everyone!

            Nice interface! Like the layout and colors. Mostly I liked the update, but… after update to 2.4 the CPU use doubled and is now constantly in use. Also the memory went to max. So I went from 2 to 4 GB but still the memory is on 97% constantly. See the difference before and after update in the attached picture. I think I will revert to the 2.3 version if this is not solved.

            Additional Update: PFSense stoped out of the blue! The internal interface wasn't accepting any requests anymore. Had to give a hard-reset. The strange thing is that external everything worked. Definitely going back to the old version since this version isn't stable.

              Just updated our testmachine to 2.4.0, running on ESXi 5.5.0. No crash here. The vmware-guestd service didn't automatically start though for some reason.

                It that known by the pfsense devs? Went into this trouble at work today. Even SSH wasn't working anymore.

                  Are you sure you're not having a pfBlockerNG / DNSBL issue?

                    Pretty sure because I don't use pfBlocker or something similar (at least.. as far as I know :D).

                    I also got this error in dmesg:
                    [zone: pf states] PF states limit reached

                    Pftop showed many connections with expiry time 00:00:00. Most of them were simple https connections with an age of many hours.

                    States graph attached.
