      Hello All,
      I have upgraded to 2.0.2 with firmware upgrade wizard. After that I am getting kernel panics.
      The main issue looks like the error below. Also I have uploaded all the reports to the dropbox.
      I am using this pfsense with snort installed and I have 4 bce nics (2 active).

      Please help.

      Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
      cpuid = 0; apic id = 00
      fault virtual address = 0x370
      fault code = supervisor read data, page not present
      instruction pointer = 0x20:0xffffffff808f1d9d
      stack pointer        = 0x28:0xffffff800009bb00
      frame pointer        = 0x28:0xffffff800009bb30
      code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b
      = DPL 0, pres 1, long 1, def32 0, gran 1
      processor eflags = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0
      current process = 12 (swi4: clock)

      My full crash reports are here:

        Upgraded from what version? What are those custom /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ scripts you have there?

            I'd take out those IPv6 scripts, that page is very dated and should no longer be used, if you need IPv6 you have to use 2.1. There are some OS-level issues in the base of 2.0.x with IPv6 that could cause kernel panics in certain circumstances. That may or may not be the issue. The base OS is no different between 2.0.1 and 2.0.2 aside from the security fixes, none of which would cause any stability issues. My guess is if it isn't the IPv6, you've developed a hardware problem coincidental to the upgrade. Otherwise something else unrelated to the upgrade itself changed.

              Thank you for your reply. I have removed the scripts,
              If the problem continues I will check the hardware with some testing tools and I will try a clean installation of 2.0.2.
              Regards
