      I think I am running into this issue.  I do not have the dev kernel installed.  Thought it was a bad hard drive, Had a lot of drive errors after rebooting a few times until it no longer booted. Replaced the drive. Machine ran fine for a couple hours off network. As soon as traffic started hitting it it quit within a few minutes.  After a reboot it passed traffic a few minutes and quit again.

      Had been running the Dec31 Full i386(it ran fine).  Updated to Jan 21 over the weekend. Issue started yesterday.  Loaded Jan 26 amd64 today and still see the same behavior.

      Does this sound similar to what everyone else is seeing? Where can I find the Dec 31 snap, i must have erased it?

      I have another box at the office and some spare public IP's. I can set it up for testing if any of the devs want access (when its up).

      Let me know.

      This is on a 5015A-EHF-D525 w/4G RAM

        Text dumps will be a nice feature.  Thanks for working on that Jimp.

          On the setup we have where secondary panics used to be replicable it's fixed now.

            Beaware that you need to be updated to the latest snapshot before using this kernel otherwise you will get hangs.

              Is this just for the intel em chip fix? or will it also work on my Soekris vr chip?

                Is that for full installs? amd64?

                  That is for full install 32bits.
                  It should work even on alix boards i am not sure on others since i cannot build for those now.

                  It should fix all the panics in vr, em or other nics.

                    Should we be using this snap and later?

                          Will there be an amd64 version of the fix?

                            This is what I am supposed to do, correct?

                            /etc/rc.conf_mount_rw
                            fetch http://files.pfsense.org/kernel_new.gz
                            cp kernel_new.gz /boot/kernel/kernel.gz
                            
                            

                            EDIT: Modified code to reflect below change

                              With a little correction.
                              The last command is cp kernel_new.gz /boot/kernel/kernel.gz

                              @hugo,
                              if this results in a fix it will be included in the snapshots which will put it on amd64 snaps as well.

                                And then reboot.

                                  And hopefully if it all goes as planned the next snapshot should have textdump support that works in it, and when it does panic it will automatically restart and leave the crash info in /var/crash in a .tar file that we can review. Works better than cell phone pics or swapping kernels… :-)

                                    :D ;D :D OMG!!! I am posting this right now via OpenVPN on my neighbors wifi.  It is working on my Soekris net5501-70 board so far and I haven't been booted.  Will edit this post if it crashes doing more testing.

                                    EDIT: Able to remote into everything fine, and trying file transfers

                                    EDIT EDIT:  Haven't had any problems since 5 with the network at home (Soekris).  Still am testing the "work" one (em).

                                      just installed the latest snap with the kernel.

                                      Looking good so far! :)
                                      copied 1GB of data…no problem.

                                      going to test some more.

                                        Ermal, please let us know when there will be a 64-bit kernel snap available for testing.

                                        Jim, please let us know when there is a snap ready or in the pipe with textdump.
