Strange Issue

Hi Guys,

I've just bought a load of kit for a home server/ESXi lab.

Motherboard is a Supermicro X10SRH-CLN4F.

I'm also using a Perc H700 RAID card in the machine, and having a weird issue on boot.

When I create any VDs in the Perc H700 it refuses to boot, gets stuck on postcode B2 DXE--USB Device Detection.

However If I remove all thee VDs and just leave them as unconfigured drives in the PERC BIOS, it will boot fine, no issues.

Any ideas? I have tried changing the Boot option to legacy with no avail.

Not sure what to try?

Cheers

anyone?

Sorry for the slow reply - I hadn't tried that, and not sure it will do much as it says the issue is with IMPI v. 2.19 - I'm currently on 3.27 so assume it would have been fixed by that point...

Any other ideas?

Hmm that's annoying as I'm using VT-d. Thought pretty sure that issue was only present with the 5/i (Old SCSI card I believe) and not for the 6/i or H700. I tried to crossflash to 9260 which didn't work

As in, I didn't manage to flash it in the end, wouldn't seem to crossflash
