      I have Supermicro H12 system with H12DSi-N6 MBO (dual socket AMD Epyc).
      If I disable IPMI HOST interface in IPMI settings, XCPng crashes on boot (i don't know exact point, at the end of booting hypervisor or when starting to boot dom0). It reboots and i am stuck in boot loop.

      With host interface enabled, i have usb0 network in XCP-ng.

      Is there any way to disable this IPMI host interface?

      From Supermicro FAQ:

      Host interface is a new BMC in-band communication protocol that was introduced in Supermicro X12 and H12 motherboards. It is using http secure connection to communicate between the host system and BMC internally through USB port. If you disabled the host interface, the system will be revert to KCS for communication between host and BMC.

        Okay worth trying with an installed 8.3 to see if you still have the crash. Don't forget to update it.

        Sorry, I didn't had time to test it with 8.3, but i applied October 2023 at friday, and after that XCP-ng boots normaly, with or without IPMI host interface.

          Have you tried to boot with 8.3 beta ISO to see if it's better?

            No, only with 8.2.1. I need to go to production with this ASAP, do you have info when will 8.3 be officially released?

              Testing with 8.3 (just to boot) will confirm (or not) that the issue might be fixed with a more 8.2 ISO we can generate. So it's just to test so far 🙂

                Installer always boots, 8.2.1 and 8.3, with or without IPMI host interface. I will try to install 8.3 to another disk tomorrow.
