<![CDATA[PFSense reboot intermittently]]>Hi All,

We have deployed PFSense for securing Servers as Firewall+IDS/IPS. The problem we are facing is it gets rebooted intermittently. The deployment is as below

WAN –------ PFSense on VM --------- LAN -------- Servers

Please guide how can we troubleshoot the issue.

The IDS used is snort with just 3 rules enabled

1> Emerging Threats
2> Emerging Scan
3> Emerging DoS

Attached is the crash dump.

Thanks in Advance.

The Install is clean and version is 2.2

Actual System build is

2.2-RELEASE (amd64)
built on Thu Jan 22 14:03:54 CST 2015
FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE-p4

BTW it reboots again. :'(

Kernel flaw, driver bug, or memory corruption. My bet is on hardware. Memory, PSU, motherboard, or CPU, in order of probability.
