      I have 2.0-BETA5 (i386) built on Fri Dec 31 14:08:23 EST 2010.  I have been having problems with this firewall running on a old dell P4 computer.  It has been running great, until I login via openvpn and try to remote desktop a computer.  The firewall then kernel panics with:

      Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
      cpuid = 0; apic id = 00
      fault virtual address= 0x0
      fault code= supervisor read, page not present
      instruction pointer= 0x20:0x0
      stack pointer        = 0x28:0xcca52bbc
      frame pointer        = 0x28:0xcca52bc8
      code segment= base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b
      = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1
      processor eflags= interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0
      current process= 0 (em0 taskq)
      trap number= 12
      panic: page fault
      cpuid = 0
      Uptime: 16h28m26s
      Cannot dump. Device not defined or unavailable.
      Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key on the console to abort
      Rebooting...
      

      The firewall has 9 VLANs all trunked over one physical lan port.  I run squid with lightsquid for logging on all VLAN interfaces.  I am running captive portal too.
      I get the same problem at home with my Soekris net5501-70.  There I have only LAN, WRLS (for guest access), DMZ, and am running the same utilities (squid, lightsquid, nut, captive portal).

        Same here… has there been a bug opened? Is there already a fix?

          I would love for a problem to be in the fix list, but I don't even know exactly what the cause is.  I would appreciate some help from one of the administrators to help out in the debug process.

            As a start, you can install the developer kernel.

            After the panic type "bt" at the debugger console and capture that info as well as the panic.

            Directions for installing the developer kernel are at the following link

              Hi Guys,

              Here I have the same problem when I active the Squid…

              I´m testing since version: pfSense-2.0-BETA5-20101228-0454.iso.gz to pfSense-2.0-BETA5-20110101-1659.iso.gz.

              If I don´t use Squid the problem doesn´t hapen... this was done in a lab, about ten users were use to test.

              We need open a Bug to report this...

              Luiz Ferreira.

                Since those snapshots are nearly a week old, before you report any problem, make sure it can be reproduced on the most current snapshot available.

                And if you get a panic, we need the full text of the panic (even a picture of the screen is OK) and if possible, install a debug kernel (as PJ2 mentioned) and get a backtrace.

                Be careful with posting or reporting bugs to an existing thread or ticket about panics, too, since they could be unrelated unless the circumstances and panic message are identical.

                  The panic shows still after a most recent update [2.0-BETA5 (i386) built on Wed Jan 5 03:16:13 EST 2011].  Same panic as above.
                  If it helps out any, I am running 2008 r2 and connecting using a win7 client.  I noticed the panic happens after the kerbros handshake, when it is "initiating remote connection"

                  EDIT: I tried do load the developer kernel on my Soekris board and it didn't work, using the above link and instructions.  It actually crashed the system and wouldn't boot.  I will try it on the p4 later today, hopefully I won't have the same outcome.

                  EDIT EDIT: This is a copy of this afternoons crash from my home system.

                  Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
                  cpuid = 0; apic id = 00
                  fault virtual address= 0x0
                  fault code= supervisor read, page not present
                  instruction pointer= 0x20:0x0

                  code segment= base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b
                  = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1
                  processor eflags= interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0
                  current process= 11 (irq5: vr1)
                  trap number= 12
                  panic: page fault
                  cpuid = 0
                  Uptime: 1d19h33m12s
                  Cannot dump. Device not defined or unavailable.
                  Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key on the console to abort
                  Rebooting...
                  

                  The firewall crashed while I was out and trying to remote into my home system.  I am using squid in transparency mode.  I haven't tried disabling squid.

                    Is anyone else able to get the panic logged?  I can't get the developer setup on either one of the firewalls.  I can't afford the downtime.

                      I had a thread started on this here from dec 13, but noticed this one
                      http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,31031.msg163019.html#msg163019

                      i just posted this pic on my thread.

                      EDIT: If this helps, i have mutiple vlans on em1 on this box. A few of the other firewalls with the problem, no vlans on the interface.

                        Here is a screen shoot of the debug in the dev kernel. Can not get to the console at the moment for any more info

                          I have exactly the same kernel crashes in FreeBSD7 and 8. To me, it seems to be related to VLAN tags and NICs.

                              Looks like it may be in the Intel driver… fun.

                                so, is it something you guys can fix or is it something with freebsd?

                                  Hopefully it's fixable, though lem is legacy em, so it's some rather old/early em chipsets. Might explain why so few people have hit it.

                                    If it is an intel problem, then why would I be recieving the same problem on my soekris net5501-70 board? that uses a VIA VT6105M chip.

                                      Without a backtrace from there it's impossible to say.

                                        where do you see it is an old legacy nic/driver? (not questioning, just Curious) :)
                                        just an fyi, had no problem with oct snaps.

                                        Thanks for your help

                                          where do you see it is an old legacy nic/driver? (not questioning, just Curious) :)
                                          just an fyi, had no problem with oct snaps.

                                          
                                          exclusive sleep mutex em0 (EM TX Lock) r = 0 (0xc2f52580) locked @ /usr/pfSensesrc/src/sys/dev/e1000/if_lem.c:1350
                                          

                                          if_lem.c. lem is legacy em, a normal em card would have been in if_em.c

                                            Hmm - that line looks similar to the panic I get when captive portal is enabled on my box.

                                            
                                            exclusive sleep mutex fxp0 (network driver) r = 0 (0xc36de018) locked @ /usr/pfSensesrc/src/sys/dev/fxp/if_fxp.c:1288
                                            
                                            

                                            Details here:

                                            CryoGenID gets a panic but with yet another set of drivers.  Cino does as well.

                                            Is there anything we can do to help besides posting back traces?
