[pfSense Support] Problem when rebooting... Embedded on ALIX
I have managed (thanks to help on this list) to get my ALIX board running a full install of pfSense on 8GB CF card, so that I could enable Snort service (default install with embedded kernel). I ran into the problem of it downloading the snort rules and it would fail. After adjusting the time timeouts, it managed to finally update. Doing this remotely, I adjusting the time periods forced me to reboot, via the terminal pfsense menu option. After waiting 5 minutes, I couldn't reconnect. Argh, I had to into the datacenter. When I looked at the terminal, the following was on screen (I couldn't capture everything). + Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /etc/inc/util.inc on line 32 6 Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /etc/inc/util.inc on line 32 6Enter the LAN interface name or 'a' for auto-detection: Network interface mismatch -- Running interface assignment option.

Does anyone know why it would have lost all settings when it rebooted? Yet
another reboot and it's working.
Unfortunately, I don't have the full first reboot screen capture (so I
didn't see any errors about the flash). So unsure if the CF flash was the
cause of the problems. The manual power on/off might explain the second
screen capture of not being shut down properly.
Are there any know issues that might cause this or suggestions on how to
figure out what's going on? I'd really like to be able to reboot it remotely
without having to go into the datacenter.
Not sure what happened but your interfaces configuration was zapped it appears:
foreach($config['interfaces'] as $name = $int) {
