Hi List,

After updating and restoring config to my SG-8860, it goes to endless boot
- reboot - crash loop.

Any idea how to test if this is hardware or software issue?

Well, re-install fresh and _dont_ restore the config?

Need to test that tomorrow. Just wondering how to attach remote debugger or
similar to get root cause of crash.

I had been following that one since we had been using limiters and had the "pfsync_undefer_state" issue, though thankfully no crashes.

Post #44 on that page has a workaround.
