Hi Khaled, sorry for not answering earlier, I've been off sick.
1) Yes. We have two Dell R630 machines, natasha and opelt. The former (natasha) doesn't boot, while the latter (opelt) does boot. I've attached the lshw output for them both. They do have different CPUs, for examples. 2) It's a matter of booting from grub vs booting from lpxelinux. I mainly wanted to confirm that it's not an issue that's specific to lpxelinux. I used MAAS to do the installation, and I forced it to use 4.4.0-166.195 for the installation. I'll see if I can try and boot it with 4.4.0-167.196 today. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1852794 Title: Dell PowerEdge R630 won't boot with 4.4.0-168.197 and later Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in linux source package in Xenial: Confirmed Bug description: One of our Dell R630 machines in our CI environment won't boot with the 4.4.0-168.197 kernel in xenial. I've confirmed that it does boot with 4.4.0-166.195, but it won't boot with neither 4.4.0-168.197 nor 4.4.0-169.198. I haven't tried with 4.4.0-167.196, but I'll see if I can try with that one as well. I can't give any error message. I first saw this when PXE booting the machine. I can see that it downloads the kernel and initrd, but then the machine just reboots. I also tried installing xenial on the machine, and the same happens with grub. No output in the console after selecting the kernel in the grub menu, it just reboots. I'm attaching the lshw outputs for the two Dell machines we have. natasha is the one that isn't working, while opelt works. The machine is in our CI lab, and we can provide you access to it for more debugging.
