Hello List,
I just installed XenServer 6.2 on a newish test server. It's a
Supermicro 2U Twin2 using four X9DRT-HF dual-CPU mainboards. They have
Intel C602 chipset. I just checked and they are not on the HCL...almost
no Supermicro stuff is.
Regardless, this hardware worked fine on previous XenServer and XCP
versions. In fact, it seemed to work fine with XenServer 6.2 until I
installed Hotfix XS62E004 and rebooted.
I carefully installed the hotfixes in order following the
recommendations to restart the toolstack or reboot between each
hotfix...first the pool master, then the single pool member server after
verifying the pool master was back up.
After installing Hotfix XS62E004 on the pool master, I rebooted and the
box hard locks immediately.
I tried rebooting with "safe" and that's when I saw the kernel panic.
I successfully rebooted with "fallback" and that's where it stands.
I went through a round of BIOS updates and BIOS reconfigurations to see
if that would make a difference, but it did not.
Does anyone have any suggestions for me?
Thanks in advance (and thanks very much for my earlier assistance).
