Not sure what, if anything, the connection might be but I have been running PiHole v5 (among other things like Unbound and PiVPN) on a SFF x86 based Debian (In particular, the distro is “DietPi”) server for about two years now without incident and with the system NEVER crashing.

I went and updated to PiHole v6 yesterday and now my previously rock-solid Debian server has abended three times in 16 hours. The entire machine locks up and the console shows a kernel panic and the only way I can restart is to power cycle the server.

Anyone else having anything like this happen?
