            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

              @MarcVdS The new ISO is already available. See this post for more details.

                  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.
