pfsense VM internal-error

[thimplicity]

Hi,
I have switched to pfSense and I am running it on proxmox. So far everything works reltively fine (except all my config user errors in pfsense). the VM had an internal error twice and this time I had a look at /var/log/syslog/ as recommended here in the forum. This is the relevant portion I believe. The last message is me typing in my password wrong on the proxmox console:

Any ideas what could cause this? It seems like pfsense just froze. Seems to start with "KVM internal error. Suberror: 3"

Thanks for some ideas.

not really a lot of info out there about this kvm error...
what is the output of 'pveversion -v' ?
can you also post the vm config? (qm config ID)

Hi @dcsapak , I just saw your message while I was trying to troubleshoot this same issue.
I'm running OPNSense instead of PFSense, but the issue is the same. I was hoping you could help me troubleshoot.
In case it helps, the host computer is a Mini PC Intel Celeron N5105 4xIntel I225-V 2.5G LAN.

would certainly appear that there is an issue with the N5105

I have stabilized my box for 12 days now (knockonwood) with the help of this thread:

I tried almost everything and am still experience a VM freeze every 4 hours. I have a cron job every 5 minutes that issues a stop and start, but it's a sad state of affairs.
OPNSense virtualized on Proxmox.
