Trying to understand crash report.

@stephenw10
yes it's new hardware and I have had some panics since it was built (has been built more than 4 days...). I have rebuilt it a few times in between.I am probably going to move it back to my bench and run a ram test even though it was new which goes for the rest of the components.
Is it anything to do with the networking side of things? Currently I'm using one of the x710 sfp ports on the lan side (latest intel firmware) with an rj45 module and the wan side is using a pcie 10gb rj45 nic as the isp ont is 10gb rj45.
Thanks

Nothing there looks like a network issue specifically, no.
I would try to disable anything unused in the hardware. So the on board sound device etc.

Hi. So trying a few things to see if it helps at all.
1)several runs of memory testing. No faults though I did notice I had my single 16gb ddr5 in the second slot so moved to slot 1 and retested, all OK
2) disabled anything in the bios not required. There was a section for the realtek audio you mentioned, so that's off now too. Bios is the current version
3) checked x710 sfp ports firmware, I updated it recently and it's still on the current version.
4) for what it was worth I repasted the cpu hestsink etc. It was okish but used so good quality paste. Idling temp seems a bit lower.Rebuilt and it's back on as my live unit so let's see what happens.
One quick question though if you don't mind.
With regards to "hardware checksum offload" does this need to be disabled if using my x710's. Currently it's not but advice on this appreciated. Thanks!
-
That should be fine on the ixl (x710) NICs. However I would leave it disabled for now. It's unlikely to help much and could cause an issue.

OK great . Thanks its off for now and so let's see how it goes.I have noted lan in and wan errors using both sfp ports with rj45 modules(additional cooling already fitted), 4 each I know we talked about them before so for now I'm more interested on hoping it doesn't crash. 57gb on wan in (4 wan in errors).42gb on lan in with 4 errors. I assuming this isn't too much to be of concern?... thank you.
-
No that would not be a concern to me. A few errors like that could be anything and is very unlikely to cause any sort of problem.
-
@stephenw10 thanks. Hope you won't mind but I'll post back if it panics... cheers
-
Hi. So I thought I would update my post.Since carrying out those tasks it hasn't had a panic. Admittedly I configured the wan/lan using the 2 internal i-226 ports and so far it seems OK.
Given the panic free spell I reintroduced a pci 10gb x540 t1 for the lan side only. How many lan "in"errors are deemed acceptable?
Thank you
-
I don't really have a specific number. I expect it to be pretty low in normal operation. Error like that usually happen when some event in the network creates it. So maybe when the NIC links or the switch reloads etc. Thus you might see a bunch of errors initially and then a much smaller rate over time.
-
@stephenw10 OK thanks.
I am sure it's coming from an intel ax201 wifi adapter in a laptop. When I login on it (win11) I see an uptick in lan in errors. Other devices were fine yesterday including other devices on WiFi via the ap but as soon as that laptop is used they go up. I updated everything I could think of but it still seems to generate them... ho hum prolly have to live with it.
-
Hmm, interesting. Well if that really is bad traffic being generated from that wifi device it probably should be dropped and that's OK. Interesting that the Access Point (and switch?) pass it though.
-
@stephenw10
No further crashes since carrying out those repairs etc so that's great.
36 lan in errors for 1.8 TiB of data of which the majority have come from that annoying intel wifi adapter!
