Hot Plug Event / Watchdog on LAN - help
-
I'm running 2.0.3-RELEASE version. Simple setup with LAN, WAN, and openVPN.
I would upgrade to the newest release (2.2.4) and see if that solves the problem. 2.0.3 was released over 2 and a half years ago.

Now I seem to have that problem AND it reboots every 5 or 10 minutes for no apparent reason.

I think that hardware is ready for its final travel to garbage.
-
I agree with Dok. Give it a vikings funeral.
-
I'm ok with that if that's the case, but should I be looking at switches or cables as well?
-
If the hardware is rebooting itself every 5 minutes, then I'd be inclined to blame the tin. I've yet to see a dodgy network cable that could cause a firewall to reboot itself every few minutes. Ask yourself how old the machine is. If the answer is 'over 5 years', then it's time to change it.
-
I got a crash dump. Any interest in looking at it?
-
Well, swapping out the hardware in full (just popped the hard drive into a whole new chassis) sure helped. I still got one random drop in the middle of the night tonight, but prior to that from midday Friday until then the only other issue was an ISP modem reboot.

-
More of the same, about every half hour the hotplug alert. At least no more kernel crashes and it comes back online quickly. I'm swapping out the switches in the next day or so. Hoping until then that it maintains.

Did you ever bring that up to the latest release (2.2.5)?
Well worth the effort and would get you on a solid footing for troubleshooting (if required at all).

Yes, I did that before I swapped the hardware. Still had the kernel crashes and watchdog nonsense until I swapped the chassis. Now the only remaining symptom is the LAN hotplug event (and my android clients for OpenVPN quit working).
