[SOLVED] last pve-kernel problem on HP DL165 Gen7

[gosha]

Hi All!

I've described the problem for HP DL165 Gen7 and pve-kernel-4.4.6-1-pve here:
https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/p...-dl165-g7-with-last-pve-kernel-problem.27036/

This problem persists in the latest kernel (pve-kernel-4.4.8-1-pve) too.
I am forced to use the pve-kernel-4.2.8-1-pve.

Is there any problem if one node in the cluster using old kernel?
Can I hope that problem will be solved?

are you able to install and boot ubuntu 16.04 on this server ? (this is the same kernel than proxmox)

Attempting to install ubuntu 16.04 server:



"No disk drive was detected".
And what to do now?

Wait that HP support newer kernel .... Or try to replace the raid controller by another one supported.

Just found try

Seem that user have workaround it, disabling iommu in bios.

No raid controller on this server. Direct SATA-connection only.

Thnks! I will try in the evening.

Yes! IOMMU disabling is working!
Last pve-kernel-4.4.8-1-pve booted!
Thanks!

Glad to see it has resolved the problem !

but will disabling IOMMU not also block passing thru devices to VM's?

yes, better than nothing for now.
(I think it's really specific to this hp amd server model)
