Panic on upgrade
-
I've been upgrading pfSense on my laptop (i386) for a while now and had my first issue upgrading to 2.3. I have the screenshot attached. I might try a clean install and see if it does the same thing but wanted to at least show what happened and see if anyone has any ideas.
Thanks

Booting from the install cd gives me the same error.

Any ideas? Does it seem like the new FreeBSD doesn't support my video card?

Try "set hint.agp.0.disabled=1" and then "boot" from a loader prompt using the boot menu, if that works, put "hint.agp.0.disabled=1" in /boot/loader.conf.local
-
It unfortunately gave a different error and did a panic again. Screenshot attached.

That's not looking so good for FreeBSD 10.3 on that hardware. What was it running before? What hardware is that?
Seems to have some fundamental issue with DMA and kernel memory. Maybe needs a BIOS update or some changes to BIOS options.

It's an old laptop that had Windows XP that I re-purposed: hp pavilion ze4904us. It's been working great from version 1.something to 2.2.6.

Kind of a long shot, but try Safe mode from the boot menu.
Power cycle it, and at the boot menu hit: 6, then 4, then backspace, then 1

jimp,
Thanks for helping me. I found out yesterday that my company has a lot of decommissioned PCs laying around so I took one to replace the old laptop. 2.3 works well on it so I'm going to stick with that, especially since I can now use the 64 bit version with this PC. -
For future reference, I had this same problem on an old laptop. Using "hint.agp.1.disabled=1" rather than "hint.agp.0.disabled=1" fixed the problem.
