      Can any of you with the pf_state_tree_id_RB_REMOVE_COLOR panic
      try and set debug.pfpptpproxy=1 and see if they get the panic?

          Remember messing with the GUI when this happened, and then it stopped working… and then that.

            Please give info on each screenshot you put in here.
            Its absolutely required the date of the snapshot and how the box is cofnigured: carp, vlan, pptp,….

            @ acherman
            Go to system->Advanced->System tunables->Click +(at the end)

            Tunable: debug.pfpptpproxy
            Value: 1
            Description: Testing pptp fix

            Click save and try to see if it panics still.

              Had 3 panics on my CARP master and 1 on my backup - I assume they were panics, lost comms to them but no physical access, just cycled power remotely.  I just entered the tunable requested, I will update when/if something happens.  I will upload a drawing of  my network config when I get to the office, as well as more config details.

                Had another panic on my master this morning as I was doing up a quick drawing - looks like the same situation, even with the pptp tunable noted by ermal.  It ran fine for almost 14 hours yesterday before the first one last night (from 9:05 am to 10:56 pm).  Anyway, screenshots from this mornings panic:

                 

                Now, here is a basic layout of my config:

                Directly connected to the Sync interface is an identical box with all other interfaces running in parallel.  Our WAN is a static connection.  DHCP is served out to our corp LAN, remote office LAN, and a couple of our WiSP VLANs (625, 626) - I do not have the CARP backup DHCP turned on.  The only VPN I have configured is OpenVPN (one server connection).  The only package installed is the OpenVPN client config export utility.  I do have a number of virtual IPs configured for inbound and outbound NAT.  No traffic shaping turned on.  I think that's it for special stuff, let me know if more is required, or I can upload my config files.

                I am still running on the build from Thu Feb 17 02:14:25 EST 2011, with the pptp fix tunable noted by ermal.

                  I just put a patch up.
                  The snapshot has to build but when it comes out try with that.

                      I was taking a peek at the repository and noticed the last commit by ermal was on Feb 16.

                      Is this the correct URL to find out what went into the latest snapshot?

                      This is the only commit on Feb 18 (as of 4:29 PM CST):

                        It's in the pfsense-tools repo, not just pfsense.

                          Thanks!  Seems I was missing half the action!

                            Now I feel like I'm missing the action.  I still can't find a new snapshot.

                              I just upgraded from 1.3 to the latest 2.0 RC1 snapshot and I'm getting the dreaeded malloc kernel panic. This is happening on two machines in a vmware esxi environment. It basically just keeps rebooting. I see there is a bug report about vmware tools causing the issue. How do I go about uninstalling vmtools?
                              Thanks!

                                  Per Jim P,  I followed his comment:  "Boot to single user mode, touch /conf/needs_package_sync, and then reboot."

                                  That seems to have fixed the issue.

                                    i just installed snort package today. it seems to be working fine but after some time causes kernel panic. i remove snort and observe the box to see what happened. if the panic will occur again i take a pic.

                                    i use the latest RC1 build.

                                      locking this thread because people keep hijacking it, the original issue is resolved, start a new thread if you have an issue.
