System Crash

English Install/Boot/Login
1

I experienced a system crash this evening. I received a couple of pop up messages, similar to ‘CPU#3 stuck for 26s’.
Shortly after these messages my PC locked up, and even trying REISUB didn’t work. I had to shut down using the PC’s off button. PC rebooted successfully and has been working OK.

There are many messages in journalctl at 18:58:11 & 18:58:12, non of which makes sense to me.

journalctl starts with:

Feb 02 18:58:17 WHA-PC kernel: watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#3 stuck for 26s! [kioslave5:11378]

Can anyone help with this please?

Hmm, I experienced something similar with kernel-default 5.16.2-1-default Tumbleweed 20220128. The first hint was also:

watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 26s! [chrome:6272]

But after that the cause appears quite different:

As in your case, the error repeats. It was possible to connect from another desktop via ssh, but it was not possible to cleanly shutdown the machine.

I had blamed the nvidia driver and/or chrome, I asked for help in the nvidia forums, perhaps I’m wrong in laying the blame at their door.

I used yast to change my default boot back to 5.16.1-1-default, so far the error has not occurred. If it doesn’t pan out I can fall back to 5.15.8-1-default which I’ve preserved via multiversion.kernels in /etc/zypp/zypp.conf.

3

I’m not using nvidia drivers and although I do have chrome installed, it’s rarely used, so I don’t think that relates to my crash.

I’m also using kernel-default-5.16.2-1.1, which was installed on 28 Jan, so it had been running fine for 5 days, and nothing has fundamentally changed since then.
I haven’t changed kernels, or anything else, and so far no re-occurrence.

4

Our errors may be unrelated, but as I understand it, they both started after moving to 5.16.2. In my case 5.16.2 had been working OK for a while as well. So my suggestion is: if the problem reoccurs, consider falling back to some earlier kernel in case something in 5.16.2 is the actual cause of both issues.

5

That’s a fair suggestion. I’ll keep an eye on it,

Your system was hung. Here’s a Suse doc that explains the message you received: What are all these “Bug: soft lockup” messages about? It may be of some help. I can’t vouch for the recommended amelioration, though.
