yea -- i had upgraded the bios to 5-apr-2014 version before deploying. i also failed to mention that i ran it of an USB stick and has the same issue -- i that this might indicate a larger more generalized issue concerning storage, but i am not an expert in pc architecture. one would imagine that the USB stick's controller is on the stick, and the SSD controller on the board. not sure where the commonality is. anyway, i will try just leaving an ssh session open whilst `tail -f` the system log thanks m _______________________________________________ List mailing list [email protected] https://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list
