• VM Random Freezing/Crashing on Jasper Lake processors

    It appears that there is an issue running VMs on the recently available Jasper Lake (Intel 11th Gen Celeron) processors including N5095, N5105, N6005.

    Since upgrading to this hardware I have been unable to keep a VM running for more than a few days at a time.

    I respect that this issue is not specifically an Unraid problem as it is also effecting Proxmox and other similar systems.

    It appears that there may be a Kernel/KVM bug that is behind the issue on all kernels prior to 5.19.4. In general people are reporting VMs are stable with this release (although it has only been a few days).

    It does not appear to matter what the VM is running (CentOS, pfsense, OpenWRT, etc).

    I decided to log this issue here just so the Unraid devs and community are aware and don't waste as much time as I have chasing this very elusive bug (absolutely nothing is reported in the Unraid logs).
    I'm also hoping that the Unraid team will release 6.11.0-rc5 with ≥5.19.4
    There are many conversations in various forums about this problem but I haven't seen anything here.

    I haven’t read of anyone identifying the actual cause, just that 5.19.4 seems to resolve the issue. I had a look through the 500KB release notes and nothing jumped out at me, but it has been over 20 years since I’ve tinkered in the Linux kernel. :)

    Has anyone managed to resolve this problem?
    It's just that it continues to happen to me with some regularity...
    How can I see the log being written before the VM restarts?!

    Thanks!
