VM freezes irregularly
- Thread starter thimplicity
- Start date
This is definitely positive. My Ubuntu VM was able to stay up for around 5 days previously on the 5.15.x Proxmox kernel so if everyone who's running the 5.19.x kernels all get to a week without freezing, we'll have a pretty good sample size on reliability.
I'd be interested to know what's changed in the kernel between 5.15.x to 5.19.x to improve stability - Fabian might be able to help us here...?
Well.. We might have to dig into the Linux Kernel changelogs for that as the pve-edge-kernel maintainer is not the Fabian in our thread they just happen to share the same name.
My guess is simply that some added hardware drivers or microcodes that improved stability.
Btw, does anybody get this log in PVE's syslog after changing to5.19.4 kernel?
Code:
i2c i2c-6: sendbytes: NAK bailout.
Hi, I did not get that log so far (my uptime: 1 day 6 hours without issues).
Please note that before kernel 5.19.4 install, I also tried to install intel-microcode package (as this is not installed by proxmox during installation). The intel-microcode package provides the latest microcode available for intel n5105 cpu and friends (processor family code: JSL) . I hoped this could help but crashes still occurred.
Now let's see how it goes with this new kernel....

VMs are freezing on 5.15.x as demonstrated by earlier posts in this thread.
I'm not sure if this is a disapointing news...
My OpenWRT vm crashes (and auto reboots) every 5 hours after installing pve-edge-kernel v5.19.4... I haven't caught up anything and I'm waiting for the next crash.. I'm running the following OpenWRT version and the weird thing is that, this VM NEVER crashed before..
I'll follow up the latest 5.19.5 kernel to see if it fixes anything. One thing to mention is that I am compiling the kernel MYSELF (although i dont think there should be problems with that), but if everyone else's edge-kernel is running smoothly, i guess there's not much to worry about.

Thanks a million for this. Was having the same problem on a N5105 system with I210 nics. Since installing 5.19.4, the system has been stable.
A brief update.
After 2 days and 10 hours running the official 5.15.39.4, one of the four testing VMs froze tonight.
The other three VMs are running.I am going to wait few more days to see the overall behavior before upgrading to 5.19.4 and hope it improves.
