Title: Install EFW 2.4.x troubles and solutions
Post by: flavio66 on Monday 11 April 2011, 07:05:57 pm
I hope this could be helpfull.

i installed a new efw to replace our old firewall but i hd some troubles.

my org purchased a new Fujitsu Primergy RX300S6 with 12GB of RAM, a integrated RAID SAS Contreller, 3 harddisk SAS 3G 73GB 15K Hot-Plug and some Giga-Ethernet ports.

i downloaded the last 2.4.1 version but on install  it displayed the blue screen and hung. so i tried the 2.4.0 and all went ok: we had our new firewall.
after i configured it i would have the logs but the 2.4.0 has a bug on ulogd package (see :efwsupport.com/index.php?topic=1724.0).
i followed the suggestion to upgrade to 2.4.1 with the hope it works but after the upgrade the system hangs on reboot.
so the solution: installed the 2.4.0, updated only the ulogd package, used the new configuration (ulogd.conf.rpmnew) and restarted the ulogd daemon.

Now we have our new firewall.
