oops when I restart - works fine if I shut down and cold boot.

[jondowd]

My first post here - I'm new to SBCs and stoked I got my home webserver up and running on a Orange Pi 5 which boots from an NVMe (pats-self-on-back : -)

It runs great, pages are up, and it's all SO COOL, but it fails to do a restart... I can do a shutdown -h now, count to three and power it back up and all is well, but if I do a shutdown -r now it will go down, start back up, all the way to the login prompt but then barfs a long Oops message. God please... don't make me start over !

Which you won't share since we all have second sights, right?

 

Also armbianmonitor -u can be helpful.

 

I have an Opi5 with nvme here and reboot works fine.

It's not that I won't share it - I was waiting for some instruction of what information was needed. It looks like this...

[ 15.261345] Internal error: Oops: 00000000960000004 [#1] SMP

and what other information can I give that would help diagnose my trouble?
After a restart, as the login prompt arrives - this comes on the screen and I can't seem get past it, other than powering the machine down and restarting it. Thank you for your help. Jon Dowd

Thank you - Here are the results of armbianmonitor -u after moments after a shutdown -r now command. Following that command, the machine begins a shutdown, then appears to do a normal boot up, but immediately after seeing the login prompt I see this error message

Cannot reproduce. Same board, same kernel: https://paste.armbian.com/difezakigu

 

Try swapping PSU to another (better) one and check connectors and wiring. Undervoltage can cause all sorts of hard-to-explain trouble.

Thank you - A new, better PSU would be an inexpensive and easy fix. But being so new to this, I am only guessing which one to buy. Can you please recommend one? For example, which one do you use?
I appreciate your help very much.
