Re: [pfSense Support] Pfsense 1.01 - Dell PowerEdge 860

[Garith Dugmore]

Thank you for the suggestions. I've downloaded pfsense 1.2b1 and it produces the same (or relatively the same) kernel panic after restoring from the backed up xml file. To give a little more history into this I've had the same config file from before 1.01 and restored from backup when upgrading to 1.01. This is the interesting bit though; after restoring from the backup xml file I can add a few things via the web interface (in this case I've been adding carp ips) and it will then bork and give a kernel panic. But if I configure everything from scratch then it seems fine (using pfsense 1.01) . I haven't yet completed the whole configuration but so far so good. It also seems slightly faster via the webinterface. So at the moment my only conclusion is that restoring from a backup of a 1.01 installation onto the new hardware is producing kernel panics. Does this even sound possible? Pedro Paulo Oliveira Jr wrote: Chris is right.

Work just fine here on Dell pe850 The newer Dell models with SATA and/or SAS seem to have issues with FreeBSD. The older Dells, like the PE 850, 1850, 2850, 2650, 2550, etc. all should be fine. Try 1.2b1 since it's probably more stable than 1.0.1 and is based on a newer FreeBSD release that may not have that issue. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Garith Dugmore Systems Administrator South African Astronomical Observatory Phone: 021 460 9343 Fax: 021 447 3639 SAAO Website: http://www.saao.ac.za SALT Website: http://www.salt.ac.za --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
