pfSense

Chris,
Here is my thread on this also from dec 13
Old snaps worked fine. (oct) this happens on a few different firewalls (diff hardware)

Hope this helps.

We also reference the problem in http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,31721.0.html

Successfully grabbed the panic in developer:

Please test with the kernel located at http://files.pfsense.org/kernel.gz
Just copy it to /boot/kernel/kernel.gz and reboot

I can't replicate this - anyone else?

It's probably one that ermal fixed a few weeks ago. Several people hit it on the forums and they are no longer able to crash it on current snapshots.

I don't know when it's supposed to be fixed but when trying yesterday on a fresh 1.2.3 install with openvm tools, I still got a kernel panic.

That has nothing to do with this ticket. This is for OpenVPN crashing only on 2.0. You may be thinking of another ticket.
