This just happen again after about two days of uptime.
Thing is, it's on totally different hardware.
So, same version 0.84, completely different hardware with same result.
I did this as Scott suggested while it was in this state and it did nothing
so I waited a bit then rebooted the box.
pfctl -f /tmp/rules.debug
After rebooting all is well again.
Makes me think it's not hardware at this point but that's just because I
have the same result with two drastically different sets of hardware.
Not sure where to go at this point, I may have back off of using PfSense I
am sad to say. I just can't seem to make sense of the downtime I am ending
up with.
Great product, just not working for me. Of course, I am not sure where to go
from here either.. I pretty much had my mind set on using PfSense.
Not sure if I will get different results with M0n0wall or not.
Just tough to deal with the downtime because I have customers that don't
take too kindly to it as you can imagine.
Is there a log I should look at for clues as to what happen?

Subject: [pfSense Support] Argg! My PfSense just died!
This is an ouch for sure..
Just got the last of about 10 servers behind PfSense with all the rules
etc. after testing with a few machines for about a week.
I had at least 4 days straight up time without a hiccup (except the GUI
dying a lot)..
Today, I just put the very last machine which I setup as a VERY temporary
allow all in and out just for that server until I got home in a few
minutes. I wanted to finish configuring it there.
I made the last changes, moved the cable to the new switch behind PfSense.
Everything worked for about 2 minutes then it all died, except the ability
to continue to move around the PfSense GUI.
Everything behind PfSense was all of a sudden inaccessible.
Since I was a bit freaked out I decided to try a reboot, at reboot it died
and would come back up.
I had to move everything back.
Here is what the message says on the console at the moment, tried
rebooting 3 times and this is all I get. Not sure if my hard drive died or
not, going to check that next.
Also, I am only running 128 mb of ram to handle an average T1s worth of
traffic with about 30 or 40 rules and 10 or so servers with 20 or 30
aliases.
Running on a 900 or so Mhz processor inside of a Dell desktop type PC.
Here is the message, any help would be greatly appreciated!
Oh yeah, running 0.84, fresh install on a hard drive.

Can't work out which disk we are booting from.
Guessed BIOS device 0xffffffff not found by probes, defaulting to disk0:
panic: free: gaurd1 fail @ 0x519ac from
/usr/src/sys/boot/i386/loader/../../comm
on/module.c:957
--> Press any key on the console to reboot <--
