This is very interesting, thanks for sharing, @synergy2k I no longer run Proxmox on the machine, since I never got it stable… But I still have it lying around and may have to experiment with this setting to bring it back to life Please update here if you learn anything new about the topic...

My model is a PN51-BB757MDS1. The host has no processes in state D, and the IO wait is at zero (it’s a home server, not very busy, but still crashed within a few days until a month ago). The messages were some days ago and haven’t repeated. I am now on 35 days uptime. Maybe it’s time for an...

Mine is still running - but I got the below concerning message on the console when I looked today. Proxmox and all virtual servers survived and are now on day 33 wrt. uptime! Any clues what these messages mean, @mira? Would be cool for the Proxmox "community" of PN51 users if we got to the...

Hi @mira I am running 5.15.83-1-pve #1 SMP PVE 5.15.83-1. Now running solid for 26 days :) Yes I have the logs: ~ $ ls -l /var/log/apt/history.log* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 1 00:00 /var/log/apt/history.log -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 499 Apr 19 2022 /var/log/apt/history.log.10.gz...

As I wrote in another thread (here), 3 weeks ago I did a routine update/upgrade of my Proxmox server, and it has been running without issues since then. I have decided to let it run until it's been stable for a month (fingers crossed) before updating again. My journey is something like this...

Just an update: after a routine update/upgrade my setup has been running for 19 days without issues now - I am afraid to jinx it with this message, but maybe recent kernel updates has solved the issue (fingers crossed)? /Jeppe

I got this repeatedly every maybe 10 seconds and could not log in to the console - guess it was busy crashing…

@nobillgates why do you suspect ZFS? I believe I use ext4 and I also see periodic freezes and even some poweroffs with my PN51. I have upgraded the BIOS/firmware, tried the 6.1 kernel which was even more unstable and now reverted to current 5.x kernel. So strange that there is no clear remedy...

Hi, A spontaneous shutdown has also happened to me (twice now and only recently). Nothing suspicious in the syslog leading up to the halt. I too have upgraded to kernel 6.1 and removed it again - I was troubleshooting freezes on my Asus PN51 (see separate threads). After updating the...

Sadly my server froze within the first 24 hrs - not necessarily caused by the NIC, though… /Jeppe

Thanks, @Neobin - honestly it *does* help to know the NIC works very stable for others. I hope my updated BIOS firmware on the ASUS PN51-S1 does the trick for me /Jeppe

Thanks for following up @mira - I did not have the newest BIOS firmware, but I have now upgraded - this could fix the stability issues I’ve had (crossing my fingers), and I’ll leave the driver alone for now. The firmware for the Realtek NIC reported by ethtool is unchanged by the BIOS update...

Thanks, Mira! Until now I have only used the official “current” proxmox repositories and apt dist-upgrade to keep my install up to date. How do I change to kernel 6.1 (and how do I revert to “current”) the right way in Proxmox? Regards, Jeppe

Hi, While investigating stability issues with my Proxmox installation, I have looked into the Realtek R8125B interface I use. It seems to use the wrong driver. My UniFi switch often “auto-negotiates“ the ethernet speed on the switch port to Fast Ethernet (10/100mbit) instead of 1 gigabit (max...

@Bobo123 is your system still stable? If so can you describe what you did - did you change anything with respect to the onboard ethernet, e.g. disable it? /Jeppe
