Getting the error message "kernel: interrupt storm detected"

Post by oRAirwolf »

I recently upgraded my file server's hardware (CPU, Mobo, Ram, NIC) and left the same drives and file system intact. I am running the embedded version of NAS4Free off a 30GB SSD. I did not re-install NAS4Free since making this switch. Do I need to reinstall NAS4Free or is there a bigger problem?

Still testing, but it looks like I was able to fix the problem by disabling the onboard sound in the BIOS.

Seeing the problem again. I used the vmstat -i command to see a list of devices and their IRQ's:

Code: Select all

nas4free: ~ # vmstat -i

Total                           61239791        314
This is the message I am seeing:

Code: Select all

interrupt storm detected on "irq16:"; throttling interrupt source
I searched for "xhci0" and found this page, which says it refers to a USB 3.0 controller. I am not entirely sure if this is accurate. Is there a way to get a more detailed view of what is on IRQ 16? I am going to disable the motherboard's USB 3.0 controller since I am not using it and it's not really necessary.

this is your best option.

other times a BIOS Upgrade solve the problem, please check if you are using the latest BIOS.

Re: Getting the error message "kernel: interrupt storm detec

Post by oRAirwolf »

I updated the BIOS to the newest UEFI BIOS available for the motherboard. I disabled the onboard sound and onboard audio, since I do not use either of them. If I get this error again, I will start disabling USB controllers and see if that helps.

Thanks for the help.

Still the same error. It now shows 2 devices on IRQ 16. I have the NAS server hooked up to my TV using HDMI and it seems to happen whenever I turn on the TV and select the HDMI input that the NAS is connected to. I am guessing that is what is causing the conflict.

Code: Select all
