[SOLVED] Stuck on ldconfig after reboot

[zeno78200]

Dear all,

I am experiencing a huge issue that is causing the impossibility to run pfsense.

After an update of the IPlists in pfblockerNG Pfsense Webgui went stuck. So I decided to reboot it and after that it doesn't start anymore.
It stays stuck on:

**** FILE SYSTEM MARKED CLEAN *****
Filesystems are clean, continuing...
Mounting filesystems...
Disabling APM on /dev/ad4

     ___
 ___/ f \
/ p \___/ Sense
\___/   \
    \___/

Welcome to pfSense 2.2.4-RELEASE  ...

No core dumps found.
Creating symlinks......ELF ldconfig path: /lib /usr/lib /usr/lib/compat /usr/local/lib
32-bit compatibility ldconfig path: /usr/lib32

It never goes after that point and the CPU goes very high temp. I am running PfSense on APU MB from Pcengines with a 32GB SSD.

Any idea about what is the problem and how I can fix it?

Thanks!

I am not sure about what happened but seems that the config.xml file became not manageable anymore and PfSense got stuck on reboot.
I had to restore an old config.xml and clean the config backup directory from all files were there.
I am assuming that pfblocker lists I use started blocking too many hosts and the config file became too big. Do you think this can be indeed the root cause?
