Topic: Failed to start m0n0wall on reboot  (Read 1105 times)

I woke up this morning and realized I didn't have internet access and it appeared that my m0n0wall server got rebooted due to a power outage or something.  It's happened before but didn't really have any adverse affects.  Currently it doesn't look like m0n0wall loads completely.  I have taken a picture of the load screen it gets hung up on.  I tried rebooting the machine but still no luck. It stays on same line on the boot screen. 

It had been running fine for about 2 weeks.  Just installed it about 2 weeks ago.  The last configuration changes I made were to add 2 static dhcp mappings.  It is running on an older computer so I won't rule out a hard drive issue or other hardware issue.

I don't have an answer for you. Although if your computer has a usb port to spare, and you have a flash drive, I would suggest installing m0n0wall generic build to the flash drive and trying that. See if it hangs on bootup as well. If it doesn't hang, maybe it is a hardware issue.

I ended up using another one of my old pcs and it's working fine with my existing configuration.  It must have been the hard drive.
