Manjaro freezing upon shutdown and restart

Bintr · 10 August 2021 08:23

Hello! I’ve been having issues with Manjaro. Both restarting and shutting down just freeze the computer in this state:

/dev/sda1: recovering journal
/dev/sda1: clean, 943535/73236480 files, 30595027/292934978 blocks

I’m using the latest LTS kernel (Linux 5.10.53-1).
As for past solutions I’ve tried adding noefi to kernel options, but sadly it didn’t help.
When I run sudo journalctl -xe this shows up:

kernel: mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine check events logged
kernel: mce: [Hardware Error]: CPU 0: Machine Check: 0 Bank: 9: d00002c0000a008f
kernel: mce: [Hardware Error]: TSC 6c2d309b48d4
kernel: mce: [Hardware Error]: PROCESSOR 0: 206f2 TIME 1628519386 SOCKET 0 APIC 0 microcode 3b

I would’ve attached some screenshots, but it would not let me.

Characteristics if needed:
CPU: 4x Xeon E7-4870
GPU: GeForce GTX 670

If any more information is needed to solve this issue, I’ll be happy to provide it.

Welcome to Manjaro!

Please read this:
How to provide good information
and post some more information so we can see what’s really going on. Now we know the symptom of the disease, but we need some more probing to know where the origin lies…
An inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width would be the minimum required information for us to be able to help you. (Personally Identifiable Information like serial numbers and MAC addresses will be filtered out by the above command)
Also, please copy-paste that output in-between 3 backticks ``` at the beginning and end of the code/text.
In the future, when providing code/output, please copy-paste that output in-between 3 backticks ``` at the beginning and end of the code/text so that the output looks like this:
```
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.
Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur.
Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.
```
instead of like this:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.`

(as that makes both our lives much easier)
No need to do anything right now as I’m a moderator here on this site and have fixed it for you already. However, in the future I might not see your post so review my edits by pushing the orange pencil above the post I just fixed.

Good! And this is why…

P.S. If you enter a bit more details in your profile, we can also see which Desktop Environment you’re using, which exact CPU/GPU or Kernel, … you have without typing it every time

Hello! Thank you for the warm welcome, for formatting my question for me and for the link with the information on how to format my answers. I’ve updated my settings with my DE, CPU, GPU and GPU driver.

That’s really old: Please update from your manufacturer’s website…

Is there a compelling reason to run on nouveau instead of the 470 series? If not, install the proprietary drivers.

Bintr:

This is unrelated to your issue but it’s strongly advised to have at least 2 partitions: / and /home I’m therefore concluding you’re new to Linux, therefore, please read this:

Start there and test and then we’ll see.

I have thought about BIOS being the problem before and thought I’d update it, but gave up when I saw on the HP website that there are ~2000 BIOS versions for my server, many of them with matching release dates and I know that for BIOS you have to upgrade to the newest version in order, going through the older versions up to the newest. I know that updating BIOS is a process which can completely destroy your device if not done correctly and that’s I I’d postponed it to a later time and hoped that the problems weren’t BIOS related.
If you or anymore with more experience than me could help me understand which BIOS versions I need to download, I’d be greatly appreciated.

If you send me a machine like that, I’d be very happy to do it for you and then write detailed instructions here on the site that you can follow from your side as unfortunately, I don’t have the same hardware as you.

Alternatively, post a topic on HPs forum, because I don’t think you’ll find anyone here on the site that can afford an HP Proliant with a Xeon E7- 4870 CPU and 128 GB of RAM!

I think I managed to find the page with BIOS for it and have sorted them in a chronological order. Now is it true that I need to install them 1 version after the other, or can I just install the newest version directly?

Better safe than sorry, install them one by one.
Some BIOS do not like big version steps.

But as @Fabby said, an HP forum would be more helpful on this topic.

I tried posting on the HP forums just now and after posting my question in the Linux subsection it automatically got deleted for «spam» and my account got muted for 2 weeks.

Worse than Arch forums

There seem to be 2 types of BIOS available for download:
Online ROM Flash Component for Linux - HP ProLiant DL580 G7 (P65) Servers (.exe)
and
System ROMPaq Firmware Upgrade for HP ProLiant DL580 G7 (P65) Servers (For USB Key-Media) (.rpm)

What’s the difference, but more importantly, which one do I currently have, so I can then know which one to continue updating?

Falav · 11 August 2021 20:20

.exe as you probably know is a Microsoft Windows executable.

.rpm is for Red Hat/Fedora systems.

Depends from which system you update.

Bintr · 11 August 2021 20:26

From Manjaro, but I’ve looked a bit online and I see that for updating BIOS everybody used .exe files.
I plan on following this tutorial: https://youtu.be/vkLbUkAArs4?t=431

I’m getting this message when trying to update my BIOS by USB:

ROMPAQ or DIAG disk found, Attempting Boot From Drive

Invalid system disk
Replace the disk, and then press any key

How do I fix this?
