Hi all,

 

i configured a fresh system with old hardware to reuse the given hardware.

AFAIK it's a C2D E6600, on a MSI Board with 2x2GB RAM and 400W Chieftec power supply.

I use the basic free unraid 5.0.5 thumb with 3 Harddrives: 2x 1TB Seagate and 1x 750GB WD

 

i tested the rams with 3 runs: clean

i installed the system and precleared all 3 drives without any errors in 3 screens simultaneously: done without any panics

 

now i configured 3 drives in the array and pressed the initiall start routine, when the parity drive is synced the first time. i tried it 4-5 times and i always get a kernel panic at 5% or 10% or 16% progress.

 

any suggestion what i can test/fix?

 

big thanks in advance

Hmmm ... My system got a kernel panic and I took a photo of my console proving I really did get a kernel panic and gave only the briefest description of my hardware. I posted no syslog. I expect someone is going to have a eureka moment and tell me exactly what the problem is and give me the magic bullet. 

 

This is tongue in cheek obviously, but all the wikis and materials say to post a full syslog whenever you are posting a problem. And details of you hardware.  It is a little annoying for experienced community members who take time to try and help folks to have to ask for this info over and over.

 

I will say that "kernel panics" are almost always hardware related, although they can occur due to improper BIOS settings (e.g., memory timings). You said your memory passed 3 passes? How long did that take. Issues pointing to memory problems require a 24 hour memtest.

 

If you search the forum for kernel panic along with the model number of your motherboard (which you omitted) you may find someone having a similar problem with that motherboard. There is also a motherboard compatibility section somewhere on the wiki. Is your MB on the list of known good motherboards with unRAID? Also, try just searching for kernel panic will get you lots of hits and reading a few dozen of them may give you ideas and possible solutions to try.

 

Do your homework and if you can't solve it, post the required materials and I think you'll get more help ...

i will, sorry. it's not my first time, should it know better. the hardware was not near me, so tomorrow i will do my homework. thanks for your reply

searched the board and internet but there is no one with this board and unraid

Start in SAFE-MODE.

thanks, i did this and now the first start is already at 75%. Looking good to finish it at safe mode. will post again when i finish this in safe mode.

 

but whats the problem in normal mode? how to find out, what is causing the kernel panic?

100% done successfully in safe mode. array online. now i restart in normal mode and will try to use it as normal as possible. also i cleaned all logs and try to fetch all informations if a kernel panic appears.

 

waiting for some informations

it paniced during the saving of visability of the flash export… is it possible that the USB thumb is faulty and causing kernel panics?

A misconfigured or incompatible add-on is causing the problem. Ask for advise in the User Customization forum.

strange

 

all i installed is Dynamix WebGUI with all Plugins (not all configured and active yet), OpenSSH, denyhosts, unMenu, htop, screen, (btsync, dropbox <- not active), powerdown

 

i also ordered the suggest san disk thumb and will try only to use Dynamix, OpenSSH and unMenu first. Maybe it will not crash…

ok, i used this hardware and its definitley  Dynamix which is causing the kernel panic.
