sorry for unwanted bold characters in previous post
I do confirm, 8.3 LTS installation boot sequence hungs with these two adapters:
Broadcom 57504 25G SFP28 Quad Port Adapter OCP 3.0 NIC
firmware version: 23.31.18.10 (Dell p/n 540-BCRX)Broadcom 57504 Quad Port 10/25GbE SFP28 Adapter, PCIe Full Height
firmware version: 23.31.18.10 (Dell p/n 540-BDCZ)
Leaving enabled only these ones, we have NO HUNGS during 8.3 boot:
Broadcom 5720 Dual Port 1GbE LOM
firmware version: 23.31.1 (Dell p/n 540-BDKD)Broadcom 5719 Quad Port 1GbE BASE-T Adapter PCIe Low Profile V2
firmware version: 23.31.1 (Dell p/n 540-BDRK)---- -
Yes, that's why our new ISO coming soon will get a more recent version of the driver, fixing the problem
Hang on! -
many thanks, to start our evaluation XCP-ng + XOA we wait new ISO
XCP-ng maximum hardware nic quantity (eth ports) per host is 16 ...correct ?

Hi,
I'm having the exact same issue.
Dell R650xs
BOSS with M2 in RAID1
Broadcom 25Gbps NIC'sGlad to find out it's not an isolated issue. All is working fine in 8.2.1 in production for almost 2 years now, but of course 8.2.1 is out of service so I'm hoping the new ISO will be out soon.
thanks,

OK thx, will test that right away! -
Tested the newest iso (xcp-ng-8.3.0-20250606.2.iso) with Dell R770 and Broadcom 57508 100GbE QSFP56 Dual Port Adapter, PCIe Full Height
It still fails to recognize the NIC, relevant log lines:
[ 57.592461] Broadcom NetXtreme-C/E/S driver bnxt_en v1.10.3-232.0.155.5+
[ 61.400879] bnxt_en 0001:5c:00.0 (unnamed net_device) (uninitialized): Firmware not responding, rc: -16 status: 0x8000
[ 61.421312] bnxt_en: probe of 0001:5c:00.0 failed with error -16By the way, it works ok with 8.2.1 iso
