Do I understand that right that after you've uninstalled CoreFreq your server crashed too? Did you rebooted after you've uninstalled CoreFreq? Quote Link to comment
Kydonakis Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 (edited) Thanks for the reply. Server crashed. then had to unplug it to get back live. As soon as it booted I, I grabbed the first of the attached diagnostics (2022-02-16), then (think I indeed first grabbed the diagnostics) uninstalled corefreq without rebooting. After 24hours it crashed again. I unplugged and plugged it to get back online. I did a clear reboot and as soon it booted and then grabbed the second diagnostics file (2022-02-17).

Seems like that in your case i915 is causing the Kernel panic or at least it is crashing right after you've activate it. May I also ask why you unbind the console output from your iGPU? But does your server now also crash if you have to CoreFreq plugin uninstalled? I also would recommend that you remove the statistics.sender.plg from your server, isn't this plugin deprecated?

Kydonakis Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 I removed the statistics.sender.plg, old stuff remained in the server forever. iGPU is used for plex transcoding. I will keep an eye on the logs and report back if the crash occurs again. Thanks for your time. 1 Quote Link to comment

Yes, but what are you doing in the go file after you've enabled the iGPU? Do you disable the display output? I would recommend that you actually use a HDMI Dummy Plug since those helped already prevent crashes on other 10th gen systems if no monitor is plugged into the iGPU. You can also remove the modprobe and chmod from the go file and enable the iGPU by simply installing the plugin Intel-GPU-TOP. Quote Link to comment
Ixel Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 A very handy plugin! I have two questions though. 1) Is it possible to somehow 'persist' any custom configuration between reboots in CoreFreq? For example, if I change the CPU's TDP and register the governor, CPU idle, etc drivers in Corefreq, these changes are forgotten if Unraid is rebooted. I was thinking it might be possible to make these changes by using arguments with corefreq-cli but I can't find arguments which wouild do that either (e.g. could've set these again via a user script on first array startup). 2) With CoreFreq's governor etc registered, the only two choices I see for scaling are performance and powersave, I was wondering if it's possible to still have ondemand or conservative as choices or would I need to possibly change back to the governor I originally had with Unraid? At least I assume it's the governor that's responsible for it, but I'm not 100% certain. I also presume these scaling choices have disappeared due to the blacklisting and registering guide (partially) I followed from the Github wiki page. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment

Will look into this ASAP, maybe I've messed up the configuration... 1 minute ago, Ixel said: With CoreFreq's governor etc registered, the only two choices I see for scaling are performance and powersave This is usually the intel_pstate driver where only powersave and performance are availalbe if you want to use a ondemand governor you have to manually edit your syslinux.conf and add this to get the acpi-cpufreq driver by adding this: intel_pstate=disable and reboot. Or you can use the intel_pstate driver in passive mode by adding this to your syslinux.conf: intel_pstate=passive and reboot so that it acts more like the acpi-cpufreq driver and get also the ondemand governor. But only add one argument both won't work, hope that makes sense to you. Here is some documentation on how this is working: intel_pstate & ARCH CPU frequency scaling WIKI Quote Link to comment

As for the governor/scaling matter, I recall using acpi-cpufreq before as I'm AMD (Threadripper 3995WX) so I'm guessing I'd just need to stop blacklisting acpi-cpufreq in order to restore the ondemand and conservative choices and also presumably not register the governor from CoreFreq (only the clock source, cpu idle and cpu freq drivers). I'll play around with it and see where it gets me. 1 Quote Link to comment

Thanks. Regarding the modinfo command, that's very helpful. For Unraid it appears to just be modinfo corefreqk (without the .ko). I guess the same may apply to insmod but I haven't tested that yet. EDIT: For insmod corefreqk.ko and corefreqk aren't found, so I guess it's named differently on Unraid. Edited February 23, 2022 by Ixel Quote Link to comment

Exactly because it's loaded through the plugin if you've enabled Autostart. modprobe corefreqk will do the job just fine but keep in mind that is what the plugin does if you've enabled Autostart. 1 Quote Link to comment

Is this option wrong for installing the plugin: upgradepkg --install-new ? EDIT2: @Squid Ah wait now I see it, I've forgot to implement the deinstallation from the package on deinstallation, added the webui on February and missed that probably. Everything fixed.

CameraRick Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Hi there, I wanted to use CoreFreq again after a hardware upgrade, but I can't start it. Terminal returns bash: corefreq-cli: command not found When I go to Plugins->CoreFreq->Test, the only note I get is "---Something went horribly wrong, can't load moduel for Corefreq!---" Diagnostics are attached. Maybe the CPU is too obscure or something? Best, Rick camerarick-diagnostics-20220406-2259.zip Quote Link to comment

CameraRick Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 soooooo.... me again. I recently had some issues with CoreFreq crashing my machine (see here: https://forums.unraid.net/topic/123171-solved-unraid-crashes-randomly-cant-find-cause/), so I uninstalled it. Today my server crashed again, I had a look at the log and it was the same entry - May 9 20:43:51 LuNAS kernel: ? Sys_DumpTask+0xe9/0xf1 [corefreqk] May 9 20:43:51 LuNAS kernel: Cycle_AMD_Family_17h+0x31b/0xb37 [corefreqk] Only that CoreFreq is not installed anymore. Under "plugins", I can't find anything regarding CoreFreq. Is it hiding somewhere? And where do I look for it? As it's said on the download page that it crashes in rare instaces, I also want to supply the hardware info, in case it's interesting. ASUS ROG STRIX B550-A GAMING AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5650GE Mushkin Redline 16 GB DDR4-3200 ECC memory (two modules) no GPU one LSI 9201-8i HBA Best, Rick Quote Link to comment
