Yes, because you immediately use the newest one.

But this :
Quote from: cynthrune on Today at 05:47:17 PMSo far the symptoms are:
Occasionally after anywhere between 12-72 hours my Protectli VP-6630 will hard lock itself, console output will be a primarily black screen with brief, corrupted looking flashes of the console screen appearing. the device will be unresponsive on all interfaces and the fans will lock to 100%.
Suggests you have got bigger problems!

- Check the PSU/Adapter of the device.
- Run memtest86+ for 24 hours.
- Boot some kind of regular OS and do some tests that put high load on the machine and see what happens...

Good luck! :)

There are threads which show how to update it.

This might be hardware related.

Starting a thread here.
So far the symptoms are:
Occasionally after anywhere between 12-72 hours my Protectli VP-6630 will hard lock itself, console output will be a primarily black screen with brief, corrupted looking flashes of the console screen appearing. the device will be unresponsive on all interfaces and the fans will lock to 100%. After performing a cold boot there are zero traces of logs indicating that anything went wrong. The system was fine prior to an upgrade to 26.7 (from 26.1) and while that admittedly potentially went wrong (due to not performing the microcode steps) the system has been fully reinstalled since that point.

There exists a thread in the 26.7 subforum for an issue with the FW6, but the proposed solution there did not help. I was running the Coreboot bios prior, but have swapped to the AMI one, without it resolving the issue.

I will update this thread as I encounter anything new. If anyone has any suggestions for things to try, please.

Nice, glad it works for you.

Thanks for the feedback.

Just an update, after upgrading to 26.10, making the settings that Monviech suggested, and adding a router advertisement for the interfaces using prefix delegations besides 0, it works.

I can use the full /56 in my broken Comcast/Xfinity Business ipv6 delegation.
