| Hi All,
|
| Today is our semester maintenance day and we've upgraded our backup
| bridge firewall to the Dec. 15, 2011 snapshot available from
| ftp.openbsd.org and I'm getting this odd error when I boot it up.
| Oddly enough, this only happens when connected to the switch that
| original one is connected to (we swap them out each semester).
|
| First, I use the upgrade method to go from snapshot to snapshot and
| reboot
| I run sysmerge to bring in the new configuration files from etc50.tgz
| and xetc50.tgz ( I only have bsd* man* base* xbase* installed) and
| reboot.
|
| So as you can see the standard running -current and I've done several
| upgrades now.
|
| On my test switch (HP5304XL) it boots okay and I can reload the
| firewall rules with no problem. When I connect it to my HP2910 where
| the current firewall is running I cannot fully boot. If I press CTRL+C
| during the starting network section it will continue to boot. If I
| then run pfctl -e it states that PF is already enabled enabled but if
| I run pfctl -Fr -f /etc/pf.conf I get the following.
|
| # uvm_fault(0xffffffff80d2ff40, 0x0, 0, 1) -> e
| kernel: page fault trap, code=0
| Stopped at pf_translate+0x154: cmpw %r13w,0(%rsi)
| ddb{0}>
|
| keyboard is dead, no response at all from console. Any ideas?
Okay, I've gotten some off list requests for more information, which I'm hoping
I'll be able to get for those people, but I'm now outside of my maintenance
window and will likely need to schedule another outage or figure out how to
reproduce it again. The current bridge firewall running the following version
does not exhibit the problem, but I'm not able to get a trace output at this
time. Maybe it's still at least somewhat useful reference for updates that may
have happened. ( Yeah right, from Aug 8th until now. Thousands of commits. ;) )
