Multiple reboots per day following upgrade to 24.1.9

[joe26]

Experiencing similar behavior mentioned in this post: https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=39236.

System information:
 - OPNsense 24.1.9_4-amd64
 - FreeBSD 13.2-RELEASE-p11
 - OpenSSL 3.0.14

Running on Protectli Vault FW4B – 4 Port Intel® J3160

Attached is the information from the firmware reporter page, please let me know what else I should provide

Can you connect a PC to the serial console and watch if there are kernel messages preceding the reboot?

[cookiemonster]

the attachment is the buffer leading up to it Patrick. Seems a kernel panic lead from packet routing.

Looking at the last crash report I see this

the previous messages are also interesting.
Do you have the cpu firmware up to date? There's a thread somewhere here about those newer intel cpus having stability problems -I think- , solved or mitigated with those updates.
You could do a memtest just to be sure and could also install a vanilla freebsd installation.
Point being, crashes are usually hardware related.

Following up in case anyone has the same issue... this was in fact due to my firmware. After updating the issue resolved.

[sammycda]

Which firmware was it and how did you fix it?

[joe26]

I was previously on an old version of coreboot, flashed the device using Protectli's Flashli tool to the most recent AMI version: https://kb.protectli.com/kb/how-to-use-flashli/
