I have updated about a week ago and the problem seems to be resolved.  :D

It looks like that may be our only option...
The only problem is that we haven't even figured out what is causing the crash.
Let's start by finding out if we are actually getting the same page fault.

This command will give out the most relevant information:

Code Select Expand

tar -xf /var/crash/textdump.tar.last -O | grep Fatal -A 21

It would be great if everyone who is experiencing this or something similar could paste the output of this command (or a screenshot) here. I attached mine in this post:

(In order to avoid having to take my router apart I passed the SSD through to a VM)

I use a USB to Ethernet Adapter for my WAN interface.
Im also using PPPoE on my WAN interface.

Code Select Expand

root@OPNsense:~ # sysctl -a | grep -E 'dev.(rgephy|em|ure).*.%desc:'
dev.rgephy.0.%desc: RTL8251/8153 1000BASE-T media interface
dev.ure.0.%desc: Realtek USB 10/100/1000 LAN, class 0/0, rev 3.00/31.00, addr 3
dev.em.0.%desc: Intel(R) I219-LM SPT-H(2)


The NIC inside of the adapter seems to be made by Realtek.
My LAN interface is a Intel(R) I219-LM.
Prior to the update it was also running 100% stable for me.

I'm not using one of those "mini PC firewalls off of Amazon" I have a small form factor PC by HP (Elitedesk 800 G2; Intel i3-6100).

I have managed to find a Workaround which stops the system from crashing until the next reboot.
The problem seems to be caused by driver issues with the new Kernel (educated guess). Booting with the old kernel has completely solved my Issue.

Workaround:

• Turn on your machine.
• Immediatly hit space repeatedly in order to pause the boot process.
• Press K in to change the kernel to the old one. (The text at number 6. should turn blue)
• Press B to boot.

The system should now run stable.
This is not permanent. OPNsense will boot the newer kernel on reboot
If anyone knows how to make this permanent, I would greatly appreciate a reply.


Other things I have tried (just want to mention for documentation purposes):

• Running Memtest86+ for 20+h (37 passes) found 0 errors.
• Switching out the Hard Drive for a brand new one did not Help.

Hello, I am experiencing a very similar Problem.
mine behaves like this:


After updating to 23.1.3_4  (Fresh install, only restored config from backup):

• PPPoE does work.
  
• Kernel Panic everytime I try to Update/install anything (gui + cli) , sometimes opening the System > Firmware > Status page is enough.
  
  • Textdump : https://drive.google.com/file/d/149yLrdJX982iheWc8xvP8z2PN4AndaLf/view?usp=share_link]
    (file is too large to attach)


• The system will usually crash after a couple of minutes, even without checking for updates.
• Submitting a crash report has also caused the system to crash.
  
• Switching to dev Branch causes an error, but still works and even allows me to install Plugins, but still crashes irregularly or when searching for updates.
  
  • Error when Updating to dev branch : [Screenshot_20230315_194431.png]
    

It might be worth noting that this only happens when connected to WAN, is has never crashed on me when there was no Internet connection.

Im currently running version 23.1, which seems to be stable, but does not allow me to install Updates (Update required)
