System hanging after upgrade...NIC driver?

Same problem here with 2 r8169 nics - after upgrading from proxmox 7.4 to proxmox 8 it happens very often that the nics are more or less "offline" even if they sometimes indicate that they have a link.

see also:

- https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/networking-issues-pve8.129742/
- https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=4807


echo "performance" > /sys/module/pcie_aspm/parameters/policy seem to help "a little bit" but also increase the power consumption a bit.
I'm currently building the pve kernel myself and want to try out a mainline kernel afterwards to see if it changes something.
Has anyone already bisected from which changes the regression comes from? (as it seems to work fine in 5.15er pve kernel).

Also having a similar issue. Running proxmox on an old Thinkpad laptop with a Realtek 8168 NIC and just upgraded to v8. The system keeps locking up and have to power off and power back on. Real bummer to have this happen every few hours. I can't find anything in any of the system logs and nothing shows up on the console which is also locked up. :(

Edit 1: started getting errors on the console relating to the nic...

Edit 2: found a post with a similar issue suggesting to install r8168-dkms but seems this package is not available on pve 8

https://askubuntu.com/questions/140...340-15irh-gaming-wired-networking-not-working

Edit 3: Was able to install r8168-dkms after adding the non-free and non-free-firmware to my apt sources.list. I now see this kernel module. Will update if my system crashes again.

I tried this. It didn't work. When I run update-initrammfs -k 6.2.16-6-pve -c, The r8168 module does not get built. It adds the r8169.ko. It does however add /etc/modprobe.d/r8168-dkms.conf.

Thanks, Andy

Any ideas?

You have to select it from GRUB. When the machine boots, you should see something like "Advanced options for Proxmox VE GNU/Linux". Select that and then the kernel you want.

To make that happen automatically, add a line to /etc/default/grub.d/proxmox-ve.cfg

GRUB_DEFAULT="1>2"

Then run update-grub

To figure out what to put for the GRUB_DEFAULT, grep menuentry /boot/grub.cfg

Code: 
grep menuentry /boot/grub/grub.cfg
if [ x"${feature_menuentry_id}" = xy ]; then
  menuentry_id_option="--id"
  menuentry_id_option=""
export menuentry_id_option
menuentry 'Proxmox VE GNU/Linux' --class proxmox --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-simple-7bdbf2de-5c2a-4b5d-9937-803b341d3c2f' {

    menuentry 'Proxmox VE GNU/Linux, with Linux 6.2.16-6-pve' --class proxmox --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-6.2.16-6-pve-advanced-7bdbf2de-5c2a-4b5d-9937-803b341d3c2f' {

Note that the "Advanced options" is a submenu. Menus start from 0, so the advanced menu is 1. Under that the 5.108 kernel is entry 2, so the GRUB_DEFAULT is 1>2.

You may be able to use the value from the menuentry_id_option instead. Something like this:

GRUB_DEFAULT="gnulinux-5.15.108-1-pve-advanced-7bdbf2de-5c2a-4b5d-9937-803b341d3c2f"

I'm not sure if that works. I vaguely remember it does.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Andy. I eventually used 'proxmox-boot-tool kernel pin' to pin a kernel to be the default one at boot.

I had the problem that the r8168 was not used and after installing the drivers no connection was possible at all. The installation of the kernel headers helped:

Code: 
apt install pve-headers

But for this I had to disable the r8168 again, reboot, install the headers, enable drivers and reboot. Quite cumbersome.
I found this solution here: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/networking-issues-pve8.129742/

Patric,

Thanks, installing the headers worked. I backed out my changes to default to the 5 series kernel, installed the headers, and rebooted. I didn't have to disable anything. Installing the headers was the magic sauce I needed.

For anyone that finds this later, this is what I did, gleaned from previous messages:

Edit /etc/apt/sources.list
Code: 
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian bookworm main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian bookworm-updates main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security main contrib non-free non-free-firmware

# Original
#deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian bookworm main contrib
#deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian bookworm-updates main contrib
#deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security main contrib

Update apt:
apt update

Install the headers:
apt install pve-headers

Install the r8168-dkms driver
apt install r8168-dkms

Reboot. Then check that 8168 driver is installed
Code: 
lsmod|grep 816
r8168                 655360  0

I'm not sure. However, installing the pve-headers and r8168-dkms resolved the issue for me. See my previous message. r8168-dkms should have a dependency on pve-headers. They are needed to compile r8168-dkms.

Regards, Andy

Patric,

Thanks, installing the headers worked. I backed out my changes to default to the 5 series kernel, installed the headers, and rebooted. I didn't have to disable anything. Installing the headers was the magic sauce I needed.

For anyone that finds this later, this is what I did, gleaned from previous messages:

Edit /etc/apt/sources.list
Code: 
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian bookworm main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian bookworm-updates main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security main contrib non-free non-free-firmware

# Original
#deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian bookworm main contrib
#deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian bookworm-updates main contrib
#deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security main contrib

Update apt:
apt update

Install the headers:
apt install pve-headers

Install the r8168-dkms driver
apt install r8168-dkms

Reboot. Then check that 8168 driver is installed
Code: 
lsmod|grep 816
r8168                 655360  0

THanks for the advice. I have a fresh install of Promox 8 running a couple of vm's. Each night after several hours, the server and vm's are unreachable. The server appears to be running, but can't connect. A reboot allows me to reconnect. Using the r8169 drivers. Will give this a try.

I have the same issue with the r8169 drivers today and reboot helped. I tried what AndyHowell suggested and I will see how it goes.
 
I have encountered the related problem when upgrading from 6 to 7.4.16 with kernel 5.15.116-1-pve.
I have 3 ethernet cards:
Code: 
03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 11)
04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 06)
05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 06)
I think the first one is working but not the 2 others, because they are linked to vm no more working.

I have installed pve-kernel-5.15.108-1-pve and boot on it but it doesn't work.
I have installed on the 5.15.116 kernel the pve-headers and r8168-dkms packages but it doesn't work.

Any idea ?

I followed your small guide and ask myself if i should go back to original sources.list, afterwards?

If you remove the repo component again, than you will not get updates for the dkms package if available. No harm in keeping it.

My problem is resolved.
During the debian migration, my interfaces were renamed: eth1 => eth2 and eth2 => eth1.

Thanks, hope that stabilizes my Proxmox-V8@DellWyse5070

It did. Runs stable now !!

I don't quiet understand why trying this a second time just recently seems to have worked. Never the less, thank you Andy! I'm going on 48 hrs of no reboots. Hoping it finally fixed.
 
I also have tried the solution as mentioned above by AndyHowell and it seems to work quite well!

The problem I have now is that the root disk is full because the log files have been spammed continuously. Since it's a small drive, it is causing issues if I do not truncate the syslog and the kernel.log files located in /var/log.

This is what gets logged about every second in the kernel.log (and syslog as well):
Code: 
2023-09-14T23:21:49.251124+02:00 moon kernel: [46793.486973] pcieport 0000:00:1c.0: AER: Uncorrected (Non-Fatal) error received: 0000:00:1c.0
2023-09-14T23:21:49.251134+02:00 moon kernel: [46793.486999] pcieport 0000:00:1c.0: PCIe Bus Error: severity=Uncorrected (Non-Fatal), type=Transaction Layer, (Requester ID)
2023-09-14T23:21:49.251135+02:00 moon kernel: [46793.487004] pcieport 0000:00:1c.0:   device [8086:a394] error status/mask=00100000/00010000
2023-09-14T23:21:49.251136+02:00 moon kernel: [46793.487007] pcieport 0000:00:1c.0:    [20] UnsupReq               (First)

2023-09-14T23:21:49.251137+02:00 moon kernel: [46793.487016] r8168 0000:02:00.0: AER: can't recover (no error_detected callback)
2023-09-14T23:21:49.251137+02:00 moon kernel: [46793.487031] pcieport 0000:00:1c.0: AER: device recovery failed

I tried adding "pci=noaer" to the grub entry to prevent the spamming of the log files, but it did not have the results I hoped for...

Anyone else noticing this? Or maybe someone has a way to prevent the log spamming?
 
This is how I resolved the network driver issue after upgrading from Proxmox 7 to 8 on a Dell Optiplex 3090. Rolling back to r8168-dkms as others suggested didn't work for me.

Code: 
nano /etc/apt/sources.list

2. Add line
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve bullseye pve-no-subscription

Code: 
apt update

apt install pve-kernel-5.15.108-1-pve

proxmox-boot-tool kernel pin 5.15.108-1-pve

reboot

Finally, remove line from step 2 as you don't need it for Proxmox 8.
