First thing to do is grab your configuration backups from /var/clearos/configuration_backup. It will simplify things if you have to reinstall.

The ADAMNET reference is for Gateway Mangement/DNSThingy. Ignore it if you can. If the firewall gets to the end of start up you should be OK if it does not panic, even though "systemcrl status firewall" may show failure. If "iptables -nvL" looks OK then the firewall should be OK.

When I googled your first error, it suggested it was not really a kernel error and that you may need a grub reinstall which I've never done.

I suspect you may have run out of disk space sometime in the past and things have become corrupt.

As a start, can you make sure you have enough space in all partitions ("df -h") then boot into an older kernel then try reinstalling the current one so you get a known goof installation?

The firewall should not stop the webconfig starting. Do a "systemctl restart webconfig" and, if it fails, look at "systemctl status webconfig -l" and "journalctl -xe" and have a look in the logs in /var/log/webconfig for issues. I know when you are out of disk space the webconfig won't let you in.

Well, I give up... this thing seems to be too far gone and I cant trace down the root issue(s). I am trying to move all the files off the server but the core dumps in root keep breaking everything...

Do you know of a way to prevent core dumps entirely so I can save all the files and then reinstall?

Thanks!
