General Protection Fault on Dell R720 #677

Open ikogan opened 6 months ago

ikogan commented 6 months ago

Recently I started encountering a GPF in UEFI on at least 2 Dell R720s with BIOS 2.9.0:

I'm trying to boot a Proxmox on a Samsung SSD 950 PRO NVMe drive using this Sabrent adapter: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B084GDY2PW.

This was working for quite some time and randomly failed on my existing server today. It's also failing the same way on another R720 that wasn't being used until today. This stack trace happens both when attempting to boot from the NVMe and when doing simple things like "Print all UEFI boot options to log". I'm trying Clover 5157.

Encountered the same Problem in UEFI on 2 R640s with BIOS 2.20.1. Also trying to run proxmox with a similar m2 nvme adapter and CloverBootloader 5157. Same Error with 5156.

Hi sir,

Did you ever solve this issue? I have Proxmox running on samsung 960 pro for a while without issues. I upgraded some rams and then the system was still booting fine. Then I plugged back my midplane drives, now it doesnt boot.

Nope, I ended up moving my OS to a normal SSD and using my NVMe as just another local-lvm thin pool.

I ran into the same issue with a T620. I found that rEFInd worked after adding the nvme driver.

Same problem on a R720xd. Downgrading to some random older version (Clover 5132) worked.

Encountered the same exact error on my dell R620 running BIOS version 2.9.0. Ran Boot Disk Utility (BDU) with clover version 5156 and am back up and running again. Here is a download link for BDU: https://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Boot-Manager-Disk/Bootdisk-Utility.shtml

Same problem here. R720 Bios 2.9.0, Clover v5157 NVMe M2 SSD on a PCIe card on slot 6

I will wait for some essential observation or investigation.

ikogan commented 4 months ago

What are some observations or investigation that could be helpful? I have an R720 that hasn't been configured yet that I might be able to do some work with if that one has this issue as well.

I wish you find what to report other than "not working".

I'm a little confused, maybe we have a misunderstanding as I feel like there's a good bit more detail in this thread than that. To summarize:

Unfortunately at this time I have found a use for my remaining R720 but may be getting another in the future. Should I get one, is there other information that I could provide that would help this out? Again, for a full stack dump please see the screenshot in the first post.

It's the option shown in the "Boot Options" screen here: https://github.com/5T33Z0/Clover-Crate/blob/main/GUI/Boot_Menu_Options.md#clover-boot-options:

Encountered this problem on an R630 and had to hard power cycle the server. Turned out to be an issue with the UEFI not communicating with the lifecycle controller. Unsure if related or coincidence that I encountered the same exact fault message.
