Then I'd have to figure out how to get a new kernel into it while it crashes during bootup, which it now does quite consistently.
If I had made recent changes (such as upgrades) I'd consider a kernel problem more likely. But it has been running for months with only occasional problems, and now I get problems every time I boot. Since I haven't done an upgrade at all yet this month, I'll suspect hardware. Still, I will try, say, a chimaera live CD if I can find one. Where are the Devuan live CD's? I seem to remember that they were called something other than "devuan". (Yes, I'm aware that the live CD will likely be a USB stick) -- hendrik On Tue, Oct 26, 2021 at 7:47 AM Boian Bonev <bbo...@ipacct.com> wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA512 > > Hi Hendrik, > > It is clearly saying that is a soft lockup, if it was a hardware problem it > would say hard lockup isn't it? </joke> > > That problem really does not indicate a hardware problem, most probably a > bug > in the kernel; it can also show when a kernel driver is waiting for e.g. > hard > drive that is slow to respond.
