      I'm saddened to see that there are no new snaps for FreeBSD 7_2, but I'm sure I'll get over it.

      Tried the latest snapshot for FreeBSD 8 nanobsd 512 MB CF.
      pfSense-2.0-ALPHA-ALPHA-512mb-20091019-1122-nanobsd.img.gz

      I can trigger a core dump by doing the following.

      Log into web gui of the brand new install.

      Assign interfaces, add opt 1 and switch wan to VR0 and lan to VR1 (Opt 1 is VR2)
      Click save,

      Then before clicking the apply button, going to Interfaces -> opt 1, activating it, changing name to wireless and clicking apply.

      
Enter an option:

Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
fault virtual address   = 0x250

Rebooting…

      I'll report back if the system continues to crash during normal use.

        I've been seeing this too but haven't had a chance to investigate. Seems to be a problem in general with 2.0, as I've also had a panic when simply saving settings on the interfaces page, not assigning.

          Hi,

          Its not only on the Alix, i have the same error when changing to the lagg0_vlan1 interface on a Dell PE1650.
          I got it on the snapshot op 25-10-2009.

          Hope this helps.

          Grts, Marcus

            Yep, me too on Dell 1740, same snap. Its not reproduceable, so difficult to find. Thread is everytime another. But its not frequent.

              I wouldn't say it is 2.0 related, I think it must be FreeBSD 8.0 related.  I have never seen a crash when testing the 7.2 snaps.

              Update, the crash seems to happen whenever I mess around in the interfaces section.

              I went and changed the wan interface to DHCP, and now the firewall is on a perpetual crash loop.  Just keeps crashing after openvpn setup (which I am not using)

              This looks like a different crash though, the first said Process = dhcpd, this one names apinger.  I don't know anything about reading these crash reports though, to know if that is significant.  I would be happy to give more information if more is needed.
              Thanks

                Found out that the crashes were more frequent as i only updated a ready installation, say snap from one week ago to the latest snap every day updating. When i did a fresh install without importing the config nor importing it via the webgui then nearly no more crashes. Strange but worked for me.
                Some numbers: On the updated machine i got in between 2-10 crashes in 3 hours, mostly when poking around with configurating all.
                A new install did maybe 1 or 2 crashes on the whole day - all time configuring via WebIF. Without doing anything on the machine no crash the whole day.
                A new install with imported config made between 1 and 3 crashes a day - without doing anything on the machine.
                All time on the same hardware.

                  I'm suffering from also with the same CRASH and ERROR when I simply release the IP on my WAN interface…. I've tried this on several machines now with the 10.25 Build.
