Do you have any USB devices connected?

@stephenw10
No, the only USB device plugged in is the keyboard. However, i tried running it completely headless without the keyboard or monitor connected. With just the power and one cable on the LAN side connected to a laptop for access the GUI. No WAN connection, as i am trying to work out the bugs befpre i disconmect my current internet setup. Even with only the LAN and power cable, it still gets a panic error.Also, i just got 2 brand new RAM sticks today 2x8GB and still have the problem so im guessing its not related to the RAM.
-
If it's a RAM issue the panics will be more random. Do all your crash reports show that same backtrace?
It could be a driver issue with one of the USB controllers. You might try disabling the USB3 (xhci) controller in the BIOS if you can.
-
It looks like this latest crash is different.

Hmm still the same spin lock issue though but from something else.
Given that platform is known I would try removing the Intel NIC and running with only the Realtek NIC for a few days, see if it still crashes.

@stephenw10
Ok thanks for the advice. I will try that now and report back after a few days. If there are no crashes, then i guess ill blame the NIC. -
I took the NIC out and it has been running for 6+ hours with no issues. Ill let it run longer to make sure, but before it never made it past 2-1/2 hours without a kernel panic. Im guessing that the NIC was the issue. I guess i need to find a new NIC. I will report back tomorrow after i run it all night.
-
So ive just passed 24 hrs runnung without the NIC installed and no kernel panics. Im assuming the NIC was causing the problems. I guess the IBM Pro/1000 PT Quad NIC is not compatible, even though it is listed as a compatible device? I guess ill be looking for an i350-T4 as they seem to be the best.
Thanks for your help!

It could just be a faulty card and not compatibility issue.
-
Or some low level compatibility with that particular device.
Or a power or heat issue there with the expansion card.
-
@stephenw10 I do appreciate all the assistance. I will order an i350-T4 this week and report back after trying that card. Thanks again.
-
After installing an i350-T4 card, I can confirm that there have been no more kernel panics. I think this definitely points to an issue with the IBM/Intel PRO/1000 PT 82571EB/82571GB card that I have. I am not sure if the card is faulty and I don't really know how to test it. I guess I can try installing it in a Windows desktop PC that I have and see if it causes my desktop to crash, but the desktop that I have is connected on wireless (I don't have an ethernet drop near where it is located) so I am not sure if just having it installed will tell me if it functions properly.
Anyways, thanks for all the assistance stephenw10.
-
Yup, testing the card in a different host is really the only way to know for sure.
