24.7 Production Series / Re: 24.7.8 rebooting every few hours
« on: November 13, 2024, 06:20:12 pm »
I'm running a Protectli VP4650 with coreboot and also experience(d) random reboots. I don't believe this has anything to do with OPNsense as I've seen the same with other operating systems.
Even had a replacement unit from Protectli with the same issues. By chance I figured out that the device reboots if it had been rebooted rather than shut down completely. It can be reproduced reliably.
An actual halt/shutdown and subsequent power on will leave the device running flawlessly. Current uptime is 3 months+.
Rebooting the device however will have it randomly crash/reboot without any logs/crash dumps.
No further debugging was done so far, but replacing the BIOS is still on my to-do list. Hope this helps.
