If there are missing dependencies on any of the add-on packages you have installed, they are potentially reinstalling themselves at each reboot (meaning you may be waiting for files to download during boot). I was seeing this with a custom package I have developed where I moved a file to a different location than that specified in the .xml file via one of the routines in the .inc file (the place I needed the file to reside didn't exist originally so it couldn't be placed by the XML process). On each boot the system would then claim the package was incomplete (since the original file had been moved) and attempt to reinstall it.

Look in your /var/log/system.log file. If this is the case you should see a message stating a package is reinstalling right after reboot.

May not be the case, but something to watch for.

Dear all,
Really not sure why this happen but my pfsense when booting it really
take a very long time on configuring firewall, my suspect is
- because I update to pfsense 1.2 or
- I do load balancing with failover on pfsense box
- Some packages not installed well. Once in a time I have ever restore
the configuration and all the installed packages gone. but it's still
there
Are there any way to detect what is the main cause of this problem?
thanks in advance
best regards,
