Title: Spurious kernel panics
Post by: SecAficionado on January 26, 2019, 10:08:26 pm

Hi there,

In the last week I've had two kernel panics during boot, after upgrading to 18.7.10. The latest one was this morning.

There seems to be no problem during normal operation, it is just during boot that I see the problem.

Please let me know if you need any additional information about my setup.

Thanks!

Out of curiosity, are you using VLANs?

No, no VLANS in my setup. I saw the other thread about confirmed cpu panics with VLANs, but since it may be unrelated, I started a new one.

The strange about mine is that they only happen at boot time, right after the USB hubs are recognized. Usually, the system services start loading at that point. Google says it's either bad memory, or a bad driver.

The good news, I guess, is that my kernel panics would be a FreeBSD issue and not an Opnsense one. I'm posting here to make sure ppl are aware, in case there are more cases out there.
