Shut down PFsense on PC and not have to restore?

It doesn't show 'device attach 6' or similar? It probably is the PHY issue:

No attach anything.

This is the only line with “error” in it.

module_register_init: MOD_LOAD (vesa, 0xffffffff8140c3e0, 0) error 19

Is that one of those patches I should use the Patch Package to update?

stephenw10

No that's a change to the driver code that's compiled when pfSense is built. You cannot apply it runtime.

That’s a good thing. I didn’t want to tackle one more learning curve.

At least it not working has an explanation.

I’m on to figuring out how to run the test program for my APC UPS.

Edit: If I understand the information on the PHY matter why the second boot works also make sense. That kind of boot resets what isn’t being reset. Once reset, PFSense “sees” the NIC’s correctly.

IF I understand it correctly……..

Mmm, though I expect to see an attach error when it fails. Some discussion of it here: https://forum.netgate.com/post/1008320
The error looks like:

igc0: <Intel(R) Ethernet Controller I225-LM> mem 0xf7c00000-0xf7cfffff,0xf7d00000-0xf7d03fff irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci3
igc0: Setup of Shared code failed, error -2
igc0: IFDI_ATTACH_PRE failed 6
device_attach: igc0 attach returned 6
igc0: <Intel(R) Ethernet Controller I225-LM> mem 0xf7900000-0xf79fffff,0xf7a00000-0xf7a03fff irq 18 at device 0.0 on pci6
igc0: Setup of Shared code failed, error -2
igc0: IFDI_ATTACH_PRE failed 6
device_attach: igc0 attach returned 6

It's fixed in 2.6. I've been running that (22.01) here as my edge box for months.

Nothing like that in any of my logs.

Might be though. When I didn’t double boot I still over wrote everything with the restore.
