This is probably off topic for the list but since I have no idea where to even start on this I'm hoping someone can point me to a better list. Sorry for taking your time.
For the past 2 weeks I've been dealing with a kernel panic I can't track down. The only real change is a BIOS update to deal with RAM compatibility but using my old sticks or rolling that back to the old version doesn't fix it either. It's like the hardware is now cursed. It doesn't have a serial port and it crashes so hard netconsole dies without sending anything while the display buffer get corrupted. No amount of shuffling cards, ram, or built in devices makes it go away. BUT it only happens when I access my 2 newest hard drives, If I leave that 2 device btrfs rain1 unmounted the box is fine. if I mount it but limit IO to under 1.5MiB/s it's fine. But doing anything for an extended period of time that involves that FS kills the box. I've moved these disks to different sata ports, doesn't help. My /home is a 4 disk btrfs raid1 so it's not like btrfs is broken in my kernels. I've tried booting my older kernels, still crashes, 4.14.65, 4.15.1, 4.16.2, 4.17.19-gentoo still crashes. I started a new kernel config with 4.18.6-gentoo, still crashes. I'm out of ideas. If anyone can throw me a bone I'd appreciate it. At this point I'm assuming the box is now cursed and I should try and get another motherboard or newer CPU/mem/board combo somewhere. The 2 cleanest panics I've been able to catch I wanted to say intel NIC bug but I've tried e1000 and e1000e cards. Guess I should hunt down some shitty realtek thing and see if that works. https://photos.app.goo.gl/SkxWtswgyKv8GArL8
