      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!

                Hi,
                I'm having the exact same issue.
                Dell R650xs
                BOSS with M2 in RAID1
                Broadcom 25Gbps NIC's

                Glad 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,
                Marc

                      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 -16

                      By the way, it works ok with 8.2.1 iso

                        That's interesting 🤔 Is your firmware fully up to date on the NIC?

                          @olivierlambert Yes, the NIC firmware is the latest.
                          Strange that it works with 8.2.1

                              Not entirely strange, a driver version can make the difference.
