after having a new firewall system with F28 running for over 3 weeks without any issue last saturday at 9:30 crash with 4.18.15 (see screenshot from VMware HA) guilty conscience for holding back kernel updates -> 4.18.18 today at nearly the same time identical error ------------------------------------------------- despite of https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=201685 i gave 4.19.4 a chance, shortly after boot he same error, hard power off and boot again -> "Fatal exception in interrupt" after a few seconds and so back to 4.18.18 what i don't get is that the system is running the whole week forwaridng a ton of traffic, blocking xt_recenter-abusers without any issue and it's not the uptime, there was a short reboot a few days ago switching from single interface to a bridge to prepare for second uplink router xt_recent counters are low because of --reap option while otherwise they reached all the 30000 limit after a few days leading to waste a lot of memory - the VM has 3 GB assigend and so also no problem ------------------------------------------------- [root@firewall:~]$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/iptables-recent.conf options ipt_recent ip_list_tot=30000 ip_pkt_list_tot=255 options xt_recent ip_list_tot=30000 ip_pkt_list_tot=255 ------------------------------------------------- # Kernel sysctl configuration file for Red Hat Linux # run "sysctl -p"
