      I'm going to build an updated installer with an updated bnxt_en driver, as more and more servers require it.

        We are in the process of commissioning a batch of R770 with this broadcom nic.

        @stormi , has a new installer been made available?

          @thomasp I'm struggling so much to find the time to do it, and my colleagues are equally busy, but I'll try to make it happen this week!

            The installer is built. We are testing it, then we will be able to provide it to you so you can test it in turn.

                Let us know if you have any issue with it. It's OK on our side, but I'll wait for some time before making is the new default download.

                  @stormi said in XCP-ng 8.3 and Dell R660 - crash during boot, halts remainder of installer process (bnxt_en?):

                  If I am reading it right, the link is to the 20250606 installer. Have you replaced the 20250606 iso with an updated one with the same June date in the name or did you intend to link a 20251218 iso?

                      The name is xcp-ng-8.3.0-20250606.2.iso because it's the same update level as back then... Only with two updated drivers.

                          @dcskinner The correct link is: xcp-ng-8.3.0-20250606.2.iso

                          @olivierlambert The December 2025 blog post has the wrong link...

                            @Andrew had the wrong link. I fixed it as soon as it was mentioned.

                              @stormi The new installer boots fine on my systems. I was able to update my hosts from 8.2.1 to 8.3. Huzzah!

                              Thanks for all the hard work!
