RE: ISO modification with additional RPM for NIC
@stormi I thought it’s convenient to have all in one as it’s easy for installation. But I can check this options as well. So you recommend to extract the iso to a separate USB drive and load drivers from there?

@olivierlambert would there be a way after GRUB to walk step by step through the boot and see where it goes wrong?

RE: High Fan Speed Issue on Lenovo ThinkSystem Servers
@ThierryEscande I've updated to
Xen 4.17
and it seems the upgrade went fine:host : xcp-ng-test1 release : 4.19.0+1 version : #1 SMP Wed Jan 24 17:19:11 CET 2024 machine : x86_64 nr_cpus : 64 max_cpu_id : 63 nr_nodes : 1 cores_per_socket : 32 threads_per_core : 2 cpu_mhz : 3245.126 hw_caps : 178bf3ff:7efa320b:2e500800:244037ff:0000000f:f1bf97a9:00405fce:00000780 virt_caps : pv hvm hvm_directio pv_directio hap gnttab-v1 gnttab-v2 total_memory : 130850 free_memory : 121721 sharing_freed_memory : 0 sharing_used_memory : 0 outstanding_claims : 0 free_cpus : 0 xen_major : 4 xen_minor : 17 xen_extra : .3-3 xen_version : 4.17.3-3 xen_caps : xen-3.0-x86_64 hvm-3.0-x86_32 hvm-3.0-x86_32p hvm-3.0-x86_64 xen_scheduler : credit xen_pagesize : 4096 platform_params : virt_start=0xffff800000000000 xen_changeset : $Format:%H$, pq ??? xen_commandline : dom0_mem=7568M,max:7568M watchdog ucode=scan dom0_max_vcpus=1-16 crashkernel=256M,below=4G console=vga vga=mode-0x0311 cc_compiler : gcc (GCC) 11.2.1 20210728 (Red Hat 11.2.1-1) cc_compile_by : mockbuild cc_compile_domain : [unknown] cc_compile_date : Wed Feb 28 10:12:19 CET 2024 build_id : 9a011a28e29a21a7643376b36aec959253587d42 xend_config_format : 4
However, the issues with the fan speeds and missing memory temperature readings still persist.

RE: High Fan Speed Issue on Lenovo ThinkSystem Servers
@ThierryEscande I'm experiencing difficulties with installing the
kernel-alt
package on my system. Currently, I am using XCP-ng version 8.3.0-beta2. It appears that there might be a problem with updategrub.py. Any guidance on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.I've update
xcp-ng.repo
and this is my output ofyum --enablerepo=xcp-ng-tescande install kernel-alt

RE: High Fan Speed Issue on Lenovo ThinkSystem Servers
@ThierryEscande . When I do
lsmod | grep ipmi
I get the following resultsipmi_si 65536 0 ipmi_devintf 20480 0 ipmi_msghandler 61440 2 ipmi_devintf,ipmi_si
So, I created the file with
vi /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ipmi.conf
and added the following:blacklist ipmi_si blacklist ipmi_devintf blacklist ipmi_msghandler
I saved the file and rebooted the system using shutdown -r now. However, I still don't see the memory temperatures in Xclarity, and the server's fans are still running at over 13,000 RPM. The system is running XCP-NG 8.3 beta 2 with kernel 4.19.0+1.

@stormi could you maybe advise what I'm doing wrong?

RE: ISO modification with additional RPM for NIC
@Danp, UPDATED: I tried booting with an alternate kernel in XCP-NG 8.2.1 and XCP-NG 8.3 beta 2, but it didn't load the Mellanox ConnectX-6 Lx 10/25GbE drivers.
Yes, I've read the documentation about creating a custom ISO and have detailed my procedure above. The only part I'm unsure about is this:
"you need to add new RPMs not just replace existing ones, they need to be pulled by another existing RPM as dependencies. If there's none suitable, you can add the dependency to the xcp-ng-deps RPM."
I couldn’t realize or understand this step.
