Morty_Porty444 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 My server went down yesterday and on my next restart I was getting an error that said kernel panic - not syncing vfs unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0 0), I did some quick research and sounded like a bad USB could be the issue so I created a new one. After trying to boot from the new USB I started getting a new error message: rip: 0010:panic+0x1e3/0x224 So I did some more research which lead me to do a memtest. When running that, I got 20 errors on Test 4, see https://imgur.com/Bdbe9au.jpg Today I went out got a new stick of ram, put it in and it started. I decided to see if the error was the old Ram so I reinstalled it and tried to start again. And I got the same error message: rip: 0010:panic+0x1e3/0x224 . So looks like bad ram let me pull it and start up again without it. On the next start, I get the same error message: rip: 0010:panic+0x1e3/0x224 with only the new stick in. Now I feel like a dummy. So I shutdown and run the memtest on just the new RAM, and I get 16 errors this time, on the same test #4. So I shutdown, pulled the ram, cleaned the pins reseated the RAM and tried to boot again, same error message: rip: 0010:panic+0x1e3/0x224 Now I am questioning why I had to try that RAM, WHY? So I try a new USB again and the server boots up no problem. I am happy its back on, but is that RAM stick bad or was the problem the USB? So my question is, could the bad USB be the reason I was failing the Memtest? Or is that RAM bad? If so why did I get errors on the new stick? Quote Link to comment

Bad RAM / incompatible / you're running XMP profile and the ram actually can't handle it.... The usb will have nothing to do with the memtest at all Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Or maybe bad slot for the RAM. Definitely some kind of RAM problem if memtest is giving any errors. The method is to try each module by itself in each slot so you can tell which module or which slot is the source of the problem. Quote Link to comment

jawolf Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Yes. I've run memtest and get errors. I've tried each module in each slot and get errors in all of them. I bought new memory and have the same problem with it. I've concluded it is probably the motherboard and have ordered a replacement. Hopefully, that solves it for me. Quote Link to comment
