Kernel panic on fresh install
-
New crash, same message...
-
It's weird, OVS is not involved. So it might be something else
Any chance you know how to trigger it artificially? That would be really helpful to pinpoint the issue.

@olivierlambert
I would love to! Only thing I can say - is when I was using windows XCP-console from VM inside the pool, once starting VM caused whole system to crash with this error, another day changing VAPP config also crashed server. That is why I am trying to avoid using xcp-console during business time. I'll try to reproduce it once again and reply. -
@sasha It's worth notice that the BIOS (from 2019) is relatively old/outdated. It's recommended to update the BIOS to a more recent version.

Thank you for pointing out! I'll try to reach support team for this.

@sasha BIOS is still outdated on your new hardware.

Agree. But I can't do anything about it
-
A little update on this. I deactivated the OpenVPN server on OpnSense in December and since then there have been no reboots or kernel panics.

Hi!
It's likely due to a tricky problem that was finally identified. A security patch should come soon
For some reason, FreeBSD is the most likely to trigger it, especially when you do some kind of VPN-related software. -
The security issue (XSA) is now publicly accessible: https://xenbits.xenproject.org/xsa/advisory-448.html
Transmit requests in Xen's virtual network protocol can consist of
multiple parts. While not really useful, except for the initial part
any of them may be of zero length, i.e. carry no data at all. Besides a
certain initial portion of the to be transferred data, these parts are
directly translated into what Linux calls SKB fragments. Such converted
request parts can, when for a particular SKB they are all of length
zero, lead to a de-reference of NULL in core networking code.If you want, we can make you a test update first so you can try it and see if you are now protected despite getting your OpnSense with OpenVPN up and running.
-
@olivierlambert these events helped me finally stop supporting OpenVPN and I'm not going back
Wireguard works much better for my setup. Thank you! -
No problem
FYI the update is now available: https://xcp-ng.org/forum/post/70029
