      Hmm. possibly a failing drive.

      Is the crash report the same every time?

        Yes crash report is the same every time and I don't know how to interpret crash logs.
        How could you possibly say it's a failing drive?
        Although SSD mSATA has improper character on BIOS, "SATA PM: ?????? SSD 128GB". I have no extra mSATA yet to replace.
        Added more photo on gdrive for reference.

          There are a number of read functions in the backtrace leading up to the crash which makes me think it's a read error and hence possibly a drive or drive controller issue.
          However I would expect some variation. If the backtrace is identical at each crash it's something in software triggering it.

            if you can run a system from a usb stick i 'll suggest a memtest and https://www.smartmontools.org/wiki/Download to test the disk

              Run memtest as suggested, see 'ref' folder on gdrive.
              I've install ClearOS 7.6.0 on 1 of 3 devices we bought, it's up and running 3-days now without crash dump.

              [root@xyz-svr-utm ~]# cat /etc/centos-release
              ClearOS release 7.6.0 (Final)
              [root@xyz-svr-utm ~]# uptime
               10:05:38 up 3 days, 16:46,  2 users,  load average: 0.01, 0.07, 0.08

                can you disable uefi in the bios?
                also i found ppl with similar problem that was able to boot without crash with hw.ibrs_disable=1 and
                vm.pmap.pti=0
                but this will disable spectre and meltdown mitigation

                  Maybe this hardware from ARTWAY is not stable.
                  Disabled secure boot and set devices to LEGACY only but still UEFI appears on boot devices.

                  1. Did a clean install choosing non-UEFI USB installer at boot selection (F11) with only admin change at install. This proceeds as usual (large text sizes on installation GUI) but after installation, when USB installer removed, restart then SSD selected on BIOS boot, it says no bootable device. Checking partition says unformatted.

                  2. Clean install choosing UEFI USB installer at boot selection (F11) with only admin change at install. This proceeds as usual (small text sizes on installation GUI with mouse cursor). After installation, USB installer removed then restart and is working normally.

                  But on ClearOS it's still up and running 6-days on production without crash dump.

                    tried install xcp-ng, it's working fine. setup pfsense vm on xcp-ng and still crash dump.
