Re: RPi Kernel Panic on Bookworm

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý


Hello Michael,


Following up on this issue, I've had a couple of more kernel panics since my last message. ?Unfortunately, I couldn't dedicate my monitor to troubleshooting, so I missed the first panic text output. ?However, since I had disabled beacon prior to the crash, I at least know it wasn't involved in this one.

I don't think there are any known issues with the Linux AX.25 stack and UI (aka unconnected) packets.? There *are* known issues with connected-mode sessions though.


? I strung up a serial console and ran "apt upgrade-full" to continue troubleshooting. ?The second crash happened this afternoon, from which I was able to capture the console messages below. ?It looks like Pat made the call that triggered the panic. ?I think that lets me rule out the user space AX-25 tools.

Not necessarily but I do suspect the issue is the in-kernel AX.25 stack but can be provoked by user-space I/O coming through libax25



? I've updated the EEPROM firmware, but I'm not really hopeful that is going to make a difference. ?I'm trying to figure out what I should try after the next crash. ?It seems like replacing ax25-apps and ax25-utils with VE7FET versions may not be helpful, since Pat is outside of this code base and it triggered the crash.

That though process is incorrect here.? Pat is just an userland-based application and depending on configured it to make AX.25 packet connections, it will either do it via the Linux in-kernel AX.25 support of via an AGW connection (offered via say Direwolf, G8BPQ Qtsoundmodem, etc).? btw.. the Rpi4/5 eeprom firmware is really more for hardware initialization and booting level stuff..? not OS/software related function.


?I thought about replacing libax25 with VE7FET's version, but I note that Pat isn't linked against libax25:

root@hammy:~# ldd /usr/bin/pat
linux-vdso.so.1 (0x0000007fa1e8e000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x0000007fa1ca0000)
/lib/ld-linux-aarch64.so.1 (0x0000007fa1e51000)

I don't think that's accurate as Pat is a modular Go program and the one binary might not link in stuff like this.? If you look at the package dependencies, they are there:
??


I would recommend this sequence:

?? 1. reboot your pi, start up the whole Linux AX.25 stack however you do that (script, system, etc).? Now bring DOWN the entire AX.25 stack.? Now bring the stack back up again, try Pat, and now try to reproduce the issue again (might take days as you said before)


If you still eventually hit the kernel panic again, now try these steps:

?? 2. uninstall the old OS provided ax25-apps, ax25-tools, libax25 packages
?? 3. download, compile, and install the VE7FET, ax25-apps, ax25-tools, libax25 packages
?? 4. Bring up the AX.25 stack and try to reproduce the panic again

If you still eventually hit the kernel panic again, try doing the #1 work around and see if it helps (works around a known issue of ANSWERING an incoming AX.25 connected-mode session which will panic the kernel on Ubuntu 20.04 hosts using the 5.15.0-xx kernel.

Re: EDATEC Industrialized Raspberry RPi-5

Re: Aliexpress (Was: Re: [RaspberryPi-4-HamRadio] EDATEC Industrialized Raspberry RPi-5)

 

AliExpress does take PayPal. Always has, it was one of Jack Ma's policies (Jack Ma suspected to be RIP after anti-CCP comments), He wanted to use payment methods that were commonly used the world over. In different parts of the world the primary suggested payment method is different.?

A lot of the things on there, they are just a reseller for like Amazon is. Amazon certainly aren't any better. Amazon tried to screw me over years ago, so I won't buy from them.

Re: EDATEC Industrialized Raspberry RPi-5

 

Any online shopping has gotten bad with scammers on bank charges and false deliveries. I have a special low limit Visa that is only used for just that reason. And my porch video camera can verify actual delivery time and date.

Re: Pineberry Pi SSD HATs

Hi Edd,

I have received my Pineberry BOT card, but the 8g RPi-5 I ordered last September from SparkFun has not been received yet.? The drive is already programmed and ready to put on the BOT card.

I, too, am hoping to find a case to protect my PI system and keep it cool.

I would very much appreciate it if you post how your enclosures work out.

Thanks David.
After I posted my question I searched again and found a review of the Pineberry Pi boards posted yesterday on Toms Hardware by Les Pounder that shows a picture of the Bottom Board connected to the RPI5. Yes, the mount for the SSD requires removal from the RPI5 board. Another problem is the SD card slot is hidden by the PCIe connecting cable between the RPI5 and the Bottom Hat. To change / remove the SSD card you must also remove the Bottom Hat from the RPI5.
I am looking for a case to mount the RPI5 / Bottom Board in to protect the SSD - I have two on order from Amazon arriving tomorrow to try. - They are both simple top / bottom plexiglass with standoffs.
Thanks again.
Happy New Year.

Yep. Multiple items. Not as described (not even close on a couple), DOA, and finally quit buying from them. Takes forever to get a refund, and one item, a simple folding table, credit card company wouldn't give a refund because tracking showed it delivered...? The fact that it was delivered 2500 miles away, and the supposed folding table was listed by UPS as being a pallet weighing 800 pounds, they still wouldn't refund

I expect EDATEC won't have the RPi-5 on hand to fulfill the order for a
while as the RPi Foundation production reaches full capacity.

Re: Pineberry Pi SSD HATs

 
Edited

Thanks David.
After I posted my question I searched again and found a review of the Pineberry Pi boards posted yesterday on Toms Hardware by Les Pounder that shows a picture of the Bottom Board connected to the RPI5. Yes, the mount for the SSD requires removal from the RPI5 board. Another problem is the SD card slot is hidden by the PCIe connecting cable between the RPI5 and the Bottom Hat. To change / remove the SSD card you must also remove the Bottom Hat from the RPI5.
I am looking for a case to mount the RPI5 / Bottom Board in to protect the SSD - I have two on order from Amazon arriving tomorrow to try. - They are both simple top / bottom plexiglass with standoffs.
Thanks again.
Happy New Year.

Re: Pineberry Pi SSD HATs

 

Received mine yesterday. SSD down. Unfortunately, the orientation of the hold down screw/nut, you have to remove the bottom had if you want to change the SSD...

I have sent an inquiry to Pineberry Pi but have no yet received a reply.
I can find pictures on the internet showing the Top HAT mounted and have my Top HAT mounted and booting the RPI5.
But I cannot find any pictures or diagrams of the Bottom HAT mounted to an RPI5. Should it be mounted with the SSD up (pointed towards the RPI5 bottom) or the SSD down (away from the RPI5 bottom)? To orient the connecting cable pointer as shown for the Top HAT, the Bottom HAT must be mounted with the SSD down.
Thanks for any help or guidance.
Happy New Year!
