At this point looks like I need to just reinstall the OS...CentOS that is... Rescuing from the CentOS CD did not find any installed Linux OS's

I guess you are right... I followed instructions here http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/HOWTO_Install_pfSense#Linux And overwrote like you said my CentOS install... Now Console is showing kernel panic after I rebooted it.. Any way to boot off my old install and not from the img I installed using: zcat pfsense-embedded.img.gz | dd of=/dev/sd[a] bs=16k -----Original Message----- From: Tim Nelson [mailto:tnel...@rockbochs.com] Sent: Thursday, July 22, 2010 4:37 PM To: support@pfsense.com Subject: Re: [pfSense Support] RE: Heli new intall ----- "Ujjval Karihaloo" <ujj...@simplesignal.com> wrote: > No linux commands are working like ls, etc...only pwd& cd > > pfctl -d to shut it down is also not working...

If your system's internal drive is /dev/sda, you just overwrote the beginning sectors of your hard drive (the actual amount depending on the image size you downloaded). This would explain the problems you're experiencing. Plus, 'pfctl -d' will only work from *INSIDE* the running pfSense system, not on your Linux system used to flash the pfSense image. Can you clarify what steps you took exactly to get where you are now? Maybe send us the output of 'uname' and 'dmesg' from your system so we can see your environment? --Tim --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
