Kernel error kernel:[360783.353677]

One of the links show a solution by replacing disk(s) with errors, after that the system start to work fine.
So we recommend you to check your controller health and to check the storage disks, then to run file system repair tool to fix your FS if it contain any issue.
Please check this KB: http://kb.open-e.com/File-system-repair_138.html

Also please be sure that your controller Firmware is updated to the latest firmware available at your controller website.

Thanks for the hints: I've checked the controller's and disks' health and no issue was found. All are running the latest firmware builds.
However, I found that the ACPI features were still turned on in the boot options - I guess I turned them off before upgrading to v7 and forgot to check afterwards.
I turned it off and rebooted.

The machine is up and running again and I keep my fingers crossed...
Thanks for your help and I'll keep this thread up to date so it might be helpful for other users (although maybe just the inexperienced users like me).

FYI: driver settings, and boot settings and a few more, are not saved when going from DSS V6-->DSS V7. I thought this was in the release notes someplace. Guess I will have to check on that!

[Arcesilaus]

I'm sure it's in there: I probably just did not pay enough attention when upgrading

Unfortunately, keeping the fingers crossed did not help: even with having ran a full memtest (no errors), completely disabled the onboard SATA controller and the ACPI features turned off, the system hang again last night.
I rebooted and checked the error logs, but I could not find a clue what happened.

It feels like I'm slowly running out of ideas...
Anyone willing to take a look at my logs and see if I overlooked something?

[danielweeber]

yeah, for sure.

How do you see that it is a system freeze? Is it a actual freeze? Or is it something like: WebGUI not available, Console behaving slow and strange?

[Arcesilaus]

Thanks for the offer: I have to find a way to post the latest Logs here (if that is permitted).

Well, the freeze is quite comprehensive: no response on NICs (not able to ping), no response on console (no keystroke wakes the screen) at all.
All that is left, is a hard reset.

[danielweeber]

hm okay this is definitely a kernel panic.
just upload the logs anywhere and post a link to it? should be permitted

Hi Daniel

It looks indeed like a kernel panic, mostly happening under some load. I've checked the logs for the latest connection logs before (manual) reset, and here are the results:

26-10, 02:00: Freeze when scanning folders for music files, logs taken at 07:13:

Admittedly, when bringing the machine back up, I did not always run the filesystem check: there was simply not enough time for that.
Could any FS errors cause a kernel panic?

[danielweeber]

Hi,

normally not.

Please send us the following logs completely(!):

critical_error, dmesg2, test, Samba

Greets

[Arcesilaus]

I just posted you a message on your profile page that contains the details of where the log can be found.
Please let me know if you are successful in picking them up...
