      Hi cmb,

      just experienced a completely new crash with 2.3, four cores enabled. Looking different as it also gave a backtrace. I uploaded the crash and will give you the details via PM.

      Regards,

        From further review and private conversation, this can be summarized as "frequent crashes with APU2", it has no relation to 2.3 or 2.3.1. Some of the crashes match things people were getting on APU2 with 2.2.6 as well.

          Agreed.

          However: How to proceed (if not in this threat)? PM? A new thread in another forum (and if so which one would be the correct one)?

            You can continue here. I'll move the thread since it's not 2.3.1-related.

            The default for AES-NI is off (with the exception of hardware we sell), which is why that one sticks out at me. In the other thread, it wouldn't have been anything config-related as far as certain features in use or not, so anything hardware-related is what came to mind. AES-NI seems most potentially suspect given the remainder of your config.

              Brilliant support (can't really say that enough)!

              I turned it off, will wait for the next reboot and then see how this behaves.

              I just checked a config-backup from end of march and to the best of my knowledge aesni was turned on there as well:

              <crypto_hardware>aesni</crypto_hardware>

              And as mentioned in the PM the crashes seem to have started in May (or end of April) after several changes to the config but this part was left untouched. Still I will see what happens and let you know!

                  @j.koopmann:

                  Curious that temps are not getting high ?.. I had one freeze up as I had incorrectly mounted the heatsink to the APU2C4 case:)

                  Do you have one of these boards –> http://www.pcengines.ch/apu2c4.htm

                    I do and had thought of that. I was sure to have mounted it correctly but hey it might have loosened. How can I monitor the temperature. Looked for it today but could not find anything.

                      Ok. I found a module and am logging temp every minute. So far the CPU temp is around 59C which should be well within limits…

                        Hi,

                        I run 2.3 Update 1 with my APU2 without any problem.
                        Uptime: 13 Days 02 Hours 32 Minutes 51 Seconds
                        Following packages are installed:
                        Backup sysutils 0.4_1
                        Cron sysutils 0.3.6_2
                        RRD_Summary sysutils 1.3.1_2
                        Shellcmd sysutils 1.0.2_2

                        Temp is always 56.6 °C and very stable.
