Dell PowerEdge R510 keeps locking up on install

[the.it.dude]

I did check the MD5 of both 32 & 64 bit versions before I even started.

I've now been able to successfully load and install 5 times in a row with the Intel Cards removed and the following BIOS settings:

Processor Settings

• Number of Cores per Processor = Single

• C States = Disabled

Integrated Devices

• PXE boot disabled on NIC1

• User Accessible USB Ports = Only Back Ports On

Moved IRQ Assignments around for devices

Power Management Set to "Max Performance"

Now I've played with different combinations of these settings before (with the Intel NICs installed) and did not have consistent success.  ???

I'll try re-installing the Intel NICs and see what happens with these same BIOS settings.

[guiparm]

Try disable also the Bios configuration options, under 'Processor Settings', there is this: Virtualization Technology….

[the.it.dude]

On this server, the Virtualization setting is disabled by default.  (I've also tried enabling it as well)

I just put the NICs back in and had problems again.  This time the setup completed fine.  When I selected Option 99 to install to the hard drive I got the normal blue screen asking for the keyboard/regional settings, etc.  I selected Accept Settings as usual and then the next screen never loads (Just a blank blue screen).  I can hit <ctrl><c>to get back to the menu, but subsequent attempts to install to the hard drive just displays a blue screen with a message at the bottom saying "Waiting for backend"

I just tried moving IRQs around again and will do more testing…</c></ctrl>

[the.it.dude]

Moving IRQs resulted in the same issue… blank blue screen when trying to install to the hard drive.

I then tried a USB DVD Drive to run the install from.  Same exact result.

It's starting to look like something related to the Intel Quad Port NICs  (Maybe not... Had a hang after pulling nics)

Continuing to test...

[the.it.dude]

I've discovered that removing 1 of the quad port nic's enables consistent configuration and installation.  (Doesn't matter which nic)  As soon as I put the 2nd quad port nic in, I have problems.  I'm now trying to figure out why having both nic's installed causes problems…

[the.it.dude]

Now I'm ticked…

I just ordered 2 new Dell PE servers for production firewalls:

R410 = 1 Dual Core CPU, SAS6ir, 1 Dual Port Broadcom NIC
R510 = 2 Dual Core CPUs, SAS6ir, 2 Quad Port Intel NICs

Having same issues with both servers!  This has got to be a freebsd thing, right?  Tomorrow, I'm going to try to load Untangle and see what happens.  My only other thought was to install ESXi and run pfSense as a VM.  But, I'm not real thrilled about that.

By I have problems do you mean the system locks up?

Are the two quad port NICs indentical parts?

Please post the output of the pfSense shell command # dmesg; vmstat -i on system with only one of the quad port NICs.

@the.it.dude:

Having same issues with both servers!

What issues exactly? If you can't install on the R410 you could clone the disk from the R410 and use the clone in the R410 to get over the install problem. Does the R410 have two onboard NICs? If not, does it behave better with only one NIC in the system? Do you know if they are bce or bge NICs?

[the.it.dude]

OK, Long Post.  But, everything should be in here now…  I'll create 2 seperate posts for the R410 & the R510:

R410

2 Internal NICs = Broadcom BCM5716 (bce)
Add-in Dual Port NIC = Broadcom BCM5709 (bce)

1st Test

Add-in NIC removed and BIOS settings all set to default
Everything OK!

R410 w/o NIC installed

Restart LiveCD with Add-in NIC installed and BIOS Settings at Default
Completes LiveCD boot and configuration.
Enter Option 99 to Install to Hard Drive
  Configure Console - Enter to "Accept these Settings"
  I never get the next screen.  I just see a blue screen w/ F10=Refresh Display in the upper left.
  I can hit <ctrl><c>to get back to the menu

What about running the install with the add-in nic installed causes a problem with installing to the hard drive?</c></ctrl></ep1></dell></vendor></vendor></teac></dell></ata></intel></intel></intel></intel></intel></intel></intel></intel></intel></intel></intel></intel></intel></intel></intel></intel></cpu></enhanced></cpu></enhanced></at></keyboard></generic></system></isa></at></ata></ata></intel></ata></ata></intel></isa></pci-isa></vga-compatible></acpi></acpi></intel></intel></intel></intel></intel></intel></intel></intel></intel></intel></intel></intel></intel></intel></intel></intel></bcm5709c></mii></broadcom></bcm5709c></mii></broadcom></acpi></acpi></lsilogic></acpi></acpi></bcm5709c></mii></broadcom></bcm5709c></mii></broadcom></acpi></acpi></acpi></acpi></high></acpi></acpi></dell></software></version></version></dell ></lahf></syscall,nx,rdtscp,lm></sse3,dtes64,mon,ds_cpl,vmx,est,tm2,ssse3,cx16,xtpr,pdcm,dca,sse4.1,sse4.2,popcnt></fpu,vme,de,pse,tsc,msr,pae,mce,cx8,apic,sep,mtrr,pge,mca,cmov,pat,pse36,clflush,dts,acpi,mmx,fxsr,sse,sse2,ss,htt,tm,pbe></ep1></dell></vendor></vendor></teac></dell></ata></intel></intel></intel></intel></intel></intel></intel></intel></intel></intel></intel></intel></intel></intel></intel></intel></cpu></enhanced></cpu></enhanced></at></keyboard></generic></system></isa></at></ata></ata></intel></ata></ata></intel></isa></pci-isa></vga-compatible></acpi></acpi></intel></intel></intel></intel></intel></intel></intel></intel></intel></intel></intel></intel></intel></intel></intel></intel></acpi></acpi></lsilogic></acpi></acpi></bcm5709c></mii></broadcom></bcm5709c></mii></broadcom></acpi></acpi></acpi></acpi></high></acpi></acpi></dell></software></version></version></dell ></lahf></syscall,nx,rdtscp,lm></sse3,dtes64,mon,ds_cpl,vmx,est,tm2,ssse3,cx16,xtpr,pdcm,dca,sse4.1,sse4.2,popcnt></fpu,vme,de,pse,tsc,msr,pae,mce,cx8,apic,sep,mtrr,pge,mca,cmov,pat,pse36,clflush,dts,acpi,mmx,fxsr,sse,sse2,ss,htt,tm,pbe>

R510

2 Internal NICs = Broadcom BCM5716 (bce)
2 Add-in Quad Port NICs = Intel PRO/1000 v. 2.0.7 (igb)

1st Test

Both Add-in NICs removed
BIOS Settings at default

During Boot, right after prompt for:
  (R)ecovery mode…
  (I)nstaller...
  (C) Continues the LiveCD bootup...

I see the following on screen:

Loading Configuration......done.
Network intface mismatch -- Running interface assignment option.
bce1: link state changed to DOWN
bce1: link state changed to UP

And then nothing...  Just a non-blinking cursor
The Keyboard works... if I hit <enter>, I see carriage returns on the screen, but nothing else
If I hit the power button on the server, I see:
  acpi0: suspend request ignored (not ready yet)
  acpi0: request to enter state S5 failed (err 6)

Subsequent attempts with the same settings worked fine

Could not re-create that 1st problem
Everything Works!

2nd Test

Added 1 Add-In Quad Port NIC to already installed pfSense
Assigned Interfaces
Everything Works!

R510 w/ 1 of the Quad Port NICs installed

So in summary…

It appears I can get the system up and running (without crippling the physical system) by installing 1st without any of the add-in nics installed.  However, this whole process has left me with an uneasy feeling to move forward into production with these systems.  Doesn't it stand to reason that if the install had such troubles than I may run into issues once the system is in production and under load?

Thanks,

Jeff

I can't offer an explanation for the difficulty you have had with the initial installs.

Maybe it would be worthwhile cloning the hard drive and putting the original away as a backup to help you get running again quickly if you have hard drive problems.

I expect there would be lots of pfSense users who rarely do an install; they do a firmware upgrade instead. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the install process is much less exercised than the "production" software.

wallabybob,

Thanks for the suggestion.  These systems both have a Hardware RAID-1 setup.  I wanted the redundancy.  Makes pulling hard drives a more difficult and expensive process.  But, maybe it is worthwhile seeing if I can disable the RAID and see what happens during the install?

Disabling the RAID made no difference.

Also, I was too optimistic with my analysis.  Even though the system came up fine after installing the NIC cards, as soon as I started configuring it via the web interface, things got wacky.  After each change I would lose access to the web interface.  I could still ping the firewall and the console was still OK.  But, even restarting the webconfigurator from the console would not bring access to the web gui back.  I had to fully reboot the server.

I think I'll start up a new thread that references this thread.  Since this one is getting long winded, I want to post a summary of my issues and what my options are moving forward.
