Hello,
I am a new user of Coreboot who recently purchased a Protectli firewall with Coreboot pre-installed. The firewall is running PfSense that I installed on it. Everything was going ok for a few days until I started having issues with PfSense and now I am having problems getting PfSense to launch at all. I believe this is related to a hardware issue with the firewall. During the coreboot launch I am getting an infinite loop which is triggered at the following line:
cpu reset proxy stopped cpu 1
Sounds like an issue with the hardware to me. I believe I saw this same issue referencing cpu 2 as well. I have tried over a period of several weeks to boot up and I always get this message and then a loop back to the the coreboot initialization. At this point I cannot tell if this is a coreboot, pfsense, or hardware issue, and I am getting ready to just buy another firewall with pfsense already installed and I am hoping someone has the time to give me a brief idea of what might be going on here. I am fairly PC savy but am having difficulty drilling down to what might be driving this specific issue on the web. I do like your product and plan to purchase a PC with coreboot in the near future.
Thanks a lot for your time. -Aaron

Hi all,
I've requested to be unsubscribed several times but I'm still getting these emails. Apologies for sending to the main coreboot email but the unsub email seems unmonitored.
Please unsub me. Thanks.
Hello! And how did you submit your requests? At the bottom of every message sent, including mine to the list, will include a footer. On it send a blank message to that one which wants you to do that. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8@gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."

Hello Aaron, That error message appears to be coming from Pfsense. After searching around a bit, it appears that the boot loop issue has occurred in multiple models of Pfsense firewall appliances and is due to filesystem corruption. The most common suggestion I see is to reboot into single user mode and run `/sbin/fsck -y /` until you don't see any errors appear.
As for the cause, some people mention abrupt shutdown due to a power outage. If the problem occurs multiple times then you might consider swapping out the SSD.
