Constant Kernel Panics

[tuaris]

I have been noticing my Internet dropping a lot.  At first I thought this was a problem with my ISP.  Turns out it's not them, it's me.  Specifically, OPNSense:

That's apparently been going on since I first installed the device (Protectli Vault).  Here's the full log of most recent panic:

I'm not sure what to make of this, but it brings back bad memories from a few years ago when I was having the same exact problem with a different device.

I can try upgrading to 'the latest version', but will that actually help? (it didn't a few years ago).

It seems to be getting worse.  There have been 3 kernel panics so far today and it's only 12PM.

these suggest a hardware problem. OPN versions would not normally make a difference.
Suggest you start with the usual mem test, etc. it could be bad memory, bad power or something else.

Do you have IPv6 there at all ?

I don't have IPv6.  Going to try a memtest and see what comes back.  At least this thing is still in warranty (less than a year old).
