      If you delete logs it will clear that too and will report AES:No.
      That behavior was "fixed" in 2.4.5p1, but came back with 2.5.

        Ah. Hmm

        Was there a bug for that? Not seeing one...

          The uptime is since the 2.5.0 update so 14 days uptime.

          With grep looking for the CPU model (3865U) I don't get anything so I'd say its not on the system log.
          I have to wait a few hours until I can reboot.

              There is a current bug for it though: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/11428

              Looks like that's what you're seeing. It's a gui bug, you would still be able to load the module and use the instructions.

                man looking at that bug and reading this:

                Updated by Jim Pingle 15 days ago

                Subject changed from CPU Type, some information disappear on 2.5.0 RC to CPU core details disappear after resetting log files
                Priority changed from Normal to Very Low
                Target version changed from 2.6.0 to Future

                Very low and future really got my hopes up.

                  By the way I'm sorry if this remark may seem stupid but,

                  what is the point of adding an OS Boot tab under
                  Status > System Logs > System > OS Boot

                  if the log is emptied??
                  I didn't manually reset any log files so I assume this is automatic. So its like a new tab to be empty?

                    It should not be emptied. That should only be manual.

                    This is the first report of this I've seen because most people never reset the logs.

                      @stephenw10 I never reset the logs either.

                      Anyway this is my home office pfsense. I have a couple more virtualized on Xen, they have 3 days uptime. I'll keep an eye on them and let know if the same happens.

                        Hello again,
                        As promised I rebooted our router late last night and now dmesg.boot is correctly populated, and the System Information correctly displays AES-NI CPU Crypto: Yes (Active):

                          Hmm, not sure why you ended up with no logs then. That is the reason for the missing CPU data though.

                            It's probably this bug: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/11428

                              Yes, it's that. As I linked above. 😉
