A week ago, a server of mine suddenly started to halt on random moments. Blank screen, no input. Drives and memory where fine. I needed frequent reboots to be able to finally start the machine (always that blank screen) Nothing in the logs hours before a sudden crash, nothing in /var/crash.
After a BIOS upgrade, the only message I got after a flash of grub was: PANIC: early exception 08 rip 246:10 error ffffffff810356e6 cr2 0 (Older kernel gives same message.) A replacement board showed the same error on boot, so unless both boards are faulty, a software error is more likely. I had more success getting the system to boot with 'Intel Trusted Execution' disabled. So, how would you debug a situation like this? -- ubuntu-server mailing list ubuntu-server@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
