I have Dell PowerEdge 1950 with debian which reboot without reason, and after reboot BIOS write that "previous shutdown was with error press f1 for continue".

First of all, is it possible switch of this "f1 for continue"? Its remote server and I hate this.

And I can not explain - why its rebooted. There is part of my logs:

What is faulted? Memory allocation? I have some kvm virtual machines on this host , but its sums of memory less then on hosts, and I have a lot of free swap.

  • That F1 to boot isn't a typical normal thing. Is that on the physical console? Are you sure that isn't something showing up in the hardware logs?

  • Yes on physical console. I didnt check hardware logs yet. Its remote server, and personal on that place can nly reboot it. But I planing to visit that place at next time.

Yes, you can switch off that F1 in the BIOS-security-settings.

But you should only do so if you are sure why and what you are doing.

This is a sign for a hardware problem that needs to be fixed.

Try to download a current OMSA-live-CD from Dell and look at omsa to find what is actually wrong with your machine.

Do you have a DRAC card or mini-BMC present?

If you can check the SEL log via IPMI tool you might get an indication of the reason for the reboot if it is more than the allocation error.

Are there multiple reboots with the same page allocation failure, or does the failure vary from reboot to reboot?

Do you have any EDAC or mcelog errors reporting any other issues or any additional dmesg error messages prior to the failure?
