I appear to have a hardware problem with a Qotom device Core i3 proccessor.

Boots hang occasionally and the HDMI display blanks out leaving me nothing to research.  I ran a memory check from a USB drive and the memory appears to be good.  I just reinstalled the ZFS boot with the serial console (and HDMI) of Opnsense community 25.7.  One of my boots this morning started displaying repeatedly what to me is a cryptic message.  This time I saw the message in putty using the serial console.  This may be better addressed by the FreeBSD people to decipher this message; and I will do so if directed.  But as an Opnsense implementation issued this message I am trying here first.  This is intermittent -- I not sure if I can reproduce the error.  Due to the lack of the serial console before how often this occurs is unknown.  However; this does not appear to be the only reason that boots hang or fail.  This is the only case I have at this time that was not a hang with no message I saw indicating why the boot froze.

What I got is as follows:


Tracing command kernel pid 0 tid 100154 td 0xfffff8002e2dc000
sched_switch() at sched_switch+0x88b/frame 0xfffffe00d9fede20

Thanks to anyone that might be able to propose a next check beyond checking memory.  The box may need to be replaced, I am trying to determine if that is necessary.

Take a look at this, point 23.

Thank You -- I will attempt this next.

I tried what I thought was the desired change.  It appears from the notes that followed the update this option is deprecated and soon to be removed.


The following 5 package(s) will be affected (of 0 checked):

New packages to be INSTALLED:
    cpu-microcode-intel: 20251111_1
    libpci: 3.14.0
    os-cpu-microcode-intel: 1.1
    pciids: 20251206
    x86info: 1.31.s03_1

Number of packages to be installed: 5



===>  NOTICE:

This port is deprecated; you may wish to reconsider installing it:

Abandoned upstream, fails to identify anything remotely new according to upstream issue reports.

It is scheduled to be removed on or after 2025-06-30.


Thanks for identifying the option.

This message is for the x86info package only, not for the plugin. Package messages from the FreeBSD pkg system can in almost all cases be ignored in the OPNsense context. There's a prominent (not enough?) help text at the bottom of the very UI page you copied this from.
