System reboots after a kernel panic

[rlaace423]

Hi all,

I'm battling recurrent kernel panics on my OPNsense router and would really appreciate some pointers.

* Hardware
  - Mini‑PC – Topton fanless box with Intel N100 (Alder Lake‑N) (NICs – 4 × Intel I226‑V 2.5 GbE (igc driver))
  - I've placed a Fan(USB powered) on top of it.

* OS / Kernel

Code Select Expand

FreeBSD router.sings.local 14.2-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 14.2-RELEASE-p2 stable/25.1-n269753-d27208952e13 SMP amd64
* Symptom
System reboots every few hours (or day) after a kernel panic like below.

My opnsense box is in closet. is it because of heat issue?
Belows are Reporting: Health for cpu temp at that time.

Is it syslog-ng bug? Does it use python 3.11?

This is a known bug that has been worked on before, so I would expect that something is different in your particular case.

If by Wednsday Franco doesn't see this thread open a Github issue in opnsense/src mentioning this thread.


And since you have the N100, do you have os-cpu-microcode-intel-1.1 installed ? If not do it from GUI or console/ssh

pkg install os-cpu-microcode-intel-1.1

I've already installed it. Then I'll wait until Wednesday and open a GitHub issue if needed.
