      I'm trying to do a fresh installation over my old installation of pfsense.

      I'm trying to install 1.0.1-SNAPSHOT-02-27-2007.
      But when starts the blue screen of the setup, it stops. At the bottom of the screen in possible to read "waiting for backend".

      What I can do?

        I can confirm this.

        So install from the 1.1 iso and upgrade with shapshot from web gui until it's fixed

                I downloaded a snapshot that says it was made March 1 at 1:30 pm EST but the login banner says it's from 2/27.  I'm still getting the waiting for backend error.

                EDIT Also used a snapshot that says it was created at like 4:30pm EST later on, login still says 2/27 that I still have the same issue.  I used a snapshot from 2/12 and do not get this error.  In the meantime, I've just crontabbed dhclient to run every 30 minutes to fix the dhclient issue I've ran into.

                    Yes, still the problem persist…

                    Where is the problem?

                      The problem has fixed.  I verified that it was fixed a couple hours ago.

                        Now it's all ok!  ;)

                          Hmm I get this problem on the pfsense-1.0.1-SNAPSHOT-03-15-2007 (iso/LiveCD)

                          Is there a ticket number connected with the previous fix ? I'm (desperately) trying to locate the problem…

                            Just tested http://snapshots.pfsense.com/FreeBSD6/RELENG_1/iso/pfSense.iso.gz and it works fine.

                              Agree - that is the exact same file that I've downloaded for an hour ago (md5 is ok)…

                              I also suspect that something about this problem is related to specific systems or so - that was why I was asking for some kind of ticket number in order to nail down the problem on this system more precisely :-)

                                There is no ticket number for this.

                                  ok thanks for your quick replies - I'll keep on experimenting :-)

                                  Update on problem:

                                  If I choose 99 in the menu - but from a ssh session as opposed from the "console" (keyboard/VGA screen) the Ncurses GUI works :-)

                                  If invoked from the "console" the system freezes - only possible option is the hw-reset button - it seems that the problem is related to the VGA shared-memory…
