pfSense is pretty stable. I've tested it in many VMs and 'bare metal' systems and it doesn’t freeze on me. Of course, I might not be using the same combinations of packages as you, but I would suspect the hardware, or troubleshooting as you’ve done: increasing the ram. Overheating can be a problem.

 

I use KVM on centos and ubuntu server, and freebsd does not like some settings. It can fail to boot with the default CPU emulation, for example.


i really want to love this board, but, it it is simply a heater -- my problems are thermal.

i have now completely removed the the board from the case and put a huge copper heat sync on it -- i'll take a picture -- i placed it next to a switch where the fans blow on the sync.

if my office gets above 23 or 24 degrees (C), it starts dropping packets, then goes toes up.

so sad as this is the ideal platform that i was after.

cheers
