pfSense crashes randomly - new setup
-
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.
