Dear Dell folks,
One of our systems is a Dell Inc. PowerEdge T630/0W9WXC, BIOS 2.1.5 04/13/2016 with an Intel Haswell processor [1]. ``` $ lspci -nn | head 00:00.0 Host bridge [0600]: Intel Corporation Xeon E7 v3/Xeon E5 v3/Core i7 DMI2 [8086:2f00] (rev 02) 00:01.0 PCI bridge [0604]: Intel Corporation Xeon E7 v3/Xeon E5 v3/Core i7 PCI Express Root Port 1 [8086:2f02] (rev 02) 00:02.0 PCI bridge [0604]: Intel Corporation Xeon E7 v3/Xeon E5 v3/Core i7 PCI Express Root Port 2 [8086:2f04] (rev 02) 00:03.0 PCI bridge [0604]: Intel Corporation Xeon E7 v3/Xeon E5 v3/Core i7 PCI Express Root Port 3 [8086:2f08] (rev 02) 00:05.0 System peripheral [0880]: Intel Corporation Xeon E7 v3/Xeon E5 v3/Core i7 Address Map, VTd_Misc, System Management [8086:2f28] (rev 02) 00:05.1 System peripheral [0880]: Intel Corporation Xeon E7 v3/Xeon E5 v3/Core i7 Hot Plug [8086:2f29] (rev 02) 00:05.2 System peripheral [0880]: Intel Corporation Xeon E7 v3/Xeon E5 v3/Core i7 RAS, Control Status and Global Errors [8086:2f2a] (rev 02) 00:05.4 PIC [0800]: Intel Corporation Xeon E7 v3/Xeon E5 v3/Core i7 I/O APIC [8086:2f2c] (rev 02) 00:11.0 Unassigned class [ff00]: Intel Corporation C610/X99 series chipset SPSR [8086:8d7c] (rev 05) 00:11.4 SATA controller [0106]: Intel Corporation C610/X99 series chipset sSATA Controller [AHCI mode] [8086:8d62] (rev 05) $ grep 'model*' /proc/cpuinfo | head model : 63 model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2699 v3 @ 2.30GHz model : 63 model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2699 v3 @ 2.30GHz model : 63 model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2699 v3 @ 2.30GHz model : 63 model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2699 v3 @ 2.30GHz model : 63 model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2699 v3 @ 2.30GHz ``` Although this is a server with ECC memory, which costs quite a lot of money, even with the latest Linux kernel, Linux 4.8-rc3, the EDAC driver does not support this chipset. ``` $ dmesg | grep -i edac [ 5.650704] EDAC MC: Ver: 3.0.0 $ sudo edac-util --status edac-util: EDAC drivers loaded. No memory controllers found ``` That’s unacceptable for that kind of money that system costs. My current suspicion is, that just a PCI ID is missing in the driver. Dell might say, that it’s Intel’s job to adapt the Linux, but frankly, I do not care. Dell should make sure, that these things work out of the box, and it’s Dell’s job to verify that, and, if they can’t fix it, contact Intel to fix it. Do I need to open a separate ticket for this issue, or are Dell employees reading this, who can bring it up with the right people? Best regards, Paul Menzel PS: I am sorry for the autowrapping of Mozilla Thunderbird.
