            Critical bug in 2.3 bench

            What's 2.3 bench??

            Generally, and this is true for all IT troubleshooting, you need to provide details of your equipment, what you did with it, and what happened including any error messages or other output. People can't read your mind. The more detail you provide, the easier it will be to help you.

            At this point I will bow out since I odn't have any KVM experience (I run under VMware).

                  You have titled this 2.4.4 but you're asking about the 2.3 branch, which is it?

                      Hi Stephen I have this errors on both vesions in KVM (Proxmox) hypervisor(
                      updated version recently). I tryed disable NTP severs change NTP pools reinstall PFsense, cpu units change, Change timecounters without result

                      In virtualized OpNsense have similar kernel panic with filtellog flood but connection fall down (in PF works DHCP,NAT, etc.

                      Anytime when I needed acces to cli or web UI I have to suspend and resume VM. I think is temporary solution add to cronjob console comad â„–11(restart web configurator) with 30-60sec interval.
                      If this does not work to me IPfire firewall my reserve plan

                      Similar situations

                          Version of my test instalation 2.4.4-RELEASE-p2 (amd64)
                          Maybe need some logs or output?
                          I think is problem with webconfigurator how to add correct cron job comand like: 1 * * * * root etc/rc.restart_webgui ? This can work?

                            Ok, so how are you seeing that logs if you have no access to the GUI or console? Does it not fail immediately?

                            What are the results of: sysctl kern.timecounter

                            Steve

                                You might try switching to one of the other timecounters:
                                sysctl kern.timecounter.hardware=ACPI-fast

                                You can add that in System Tunables if it fixes it.

                                  @stephenw10 When i suspend and resume Pfsense VM in Proxmox cli and web gui unfrozen + (have some kernel messages calcru) but it works and trafig hase go even webui/cli have not response. I conect fro my nat on 192.168.1.1
                                  I have low trafic and load resources up to 30% max
                                  Maybe need to try set maximum performance in bios? Irony in the situation that linux work more stable over bsd system in my test lab :(

                                    You mean shutdown and restart or actually suspend?

                                        Hmm, not sure I've ever tried that. Does it only show that error when you resume it?

                                            Sorry I missed a bit there, the sysctl should be kern.timecounter.hardware

                                            Did you try it at the command line first?
