I have two Dell R730xd. they have different generation Intel CPU
cards, one has the 8 core, the other the 6 core, duals (so 16 and 12
respectively)
same disk controller (HBA) same memory.
One booted 12.2p1 just fine. The other just won't do it. Bootloops
hard during device probe time.
I played
you said "hybrid HDD"
is this possibly about write-back vs write-through cache integrity and
some confusion in a driver over what is committed back in disk, and
what is not?
this feels like a very nasty corner case. Could you be explicit about
versions and vendors?
I am asking for selfish

Tried HBA mode. Devices attached as AHCI were not recognized. Tried
leaving in RAID
I tried an install on a new Dell 740, which has dual M2 256GB internal
SSD on a "Boss" controller. It exposes as AHCI.
It wouldn't recognize these as installable drives as raw devices. If
you use the Boss to define a virtual drive in RAID-1 it exposes fine.
Tried BIOS mode (not UEFI), tried
.
And, this state has existed for some time.

The current state of this looks logical: its the bare minimum to
represent the .tgz which we recognized from install menu choices,
which minimises any real SAT solver dependency load, because these are
not cross-dependant in any strong sense.
The goal surely would be to prove this works and test.
I'd like to play with 5.0-current on a 4.5-stable box.
is it safe to use the 5 boot loader with 4.5 kernels?
the shift of the kernel modules to /boot has me worried
that the MBR and other low(ish) level logic might not work well.
(I'm guessing that without new bootblocks, I can't play,
