Help with ALIX - reboot needed ~10min!!
-
I have left it on and left the house since my last post. When I came home it didnt work at all. Then like 15 minutes later it started working for no reason what so ever. I did not restart it and all of a sudden it is working again. I dont understand. I have a 15v 1.2A powersupply that is working fine… The lights never show any indication of a problem and the console always works... it is just the web interface and internet that doesnt work. I have tried m0nowall and pfsense.... any more ideas besides a bad board?

Patch cable??
Same setup works fine with ipcop. I have an old pc setup with ipcop. I just swapped it out for the ALIX board. Its working right now but hasnt for the past 30 min… it seems to work in spurts.... idk.... I would really like this to work so that I can get a few clients of mine to use them to vpn between offices.... :-/

Which version of the firmware are you using?

-
Just checking, but you are running the 0.99 bios on that, right?

Yes. And I just tried 1.2.1 which seems to work slightly better but still lose all connectivity except the serial port every 10 min

some new developements. When I reset my switches or sometimes disable and renable wifi or LAN conn I can connect to the Internet fine. The LAN still works fine the whole time and it does the same thing with static and dynamic ip on all the pcs. I still haven't figured this out. I might have to go back to ipcop.

I have gone back to using my linksys router while I sort out this ALIX problems. I am currently building a server closet which should be done in a day or two so we will see how things shape up when everything is installed in its final place.
I am hoping someone can provide a suggestion as to anything I can try or something I might be doing wrong….

Hi,
I suppose i shouldn't complain as my alix decides to reboot itself ever few hours instead of me having to go and physically reboot it!
But I am sick of it now. With no warning I get a fatal trap 12 page fault panic and it reboots, I've tried re-installing on different CF cards, resizing the image so the diskusage isn't hovering at 94%, updated bios to 0.99, put the box on a ups with surge protection etc… I'm lost!
Is it time to send it back and get a new one sent out and just deal with the downtime?

Are this page faults in 1.2 or 1.2.1?
Can you be more verbose on your setups? -
yes sorry
Latest (stable 1.2) embedded release running on a 1Gb CF card (not re-sized so really 128) with the 0.99 tiny bios.
I have 2 wan connections load balanced using the guide from the forum with a handfull of nat rules pointing to a couple of servers on the lan.
here is an example of something I captured thru the serial:
enter an option: kernel trap 12 with interrupts disabled
Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
fault virtual address = 0x4f0c92cc
fault code = supervisor read, page not present
instruction pointer = 0x20:0xc0631273
stack pointer = 0x28:0xcbff1cec
frame pointer = 0x28:0xcbff1d0c
code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b
= DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1
processor eflags = resume, IOPL = 0
current process = 35 (schedcpu)
trap number = 12
panic: page fault
Uptime: 30m14s
Cannot dump. No dump device defined.
Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key on the console to abortThis happens every so often but at least once a day.
