No errors at all on the console? Only issue I'm aware of that can lock at the moment isn't CARP related, it's IPv6 related so only affects 2.1. What kind of network interfaces do you have? Any bridging, lagg, vlans, etc? Any indications in the RRD graphs of something leading up to the lock? Setting up a syslog server is a good suggestion in case something is logged. You might also try (I can't remember if we enable this and I don't have a HW firewall with a keyboard I can break at hand) to press ctrl-alt-esc to see if it breaks into the debugger. If it does get you to a db prompt, you can get a crash dump like so: textdump set; capture on; run lockinfo; show pcpu; bt; ps; alltrace; capture off; call doadump; reset Then once it reboots it should offer to submit the crash report to us. You could also try switching to the debug kernel, but make sure you take a backup first in case it doesn't work as expected: http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Switching_Kernels Jim _______________________________________________ List mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list
