[PVE-User] Problems with running Pve under the New Hetzner Rootserver Generation with Haswell

Thu Aug 15 12:18:57 CEST 2013

ex40 has a lot of reports of problems, so it can not be used.

As example,

Hello laurentd, I'm sorry to hear about the issues you are having with our
> new EX40 server. Thank you for posting in this thread and thank you for the
> tone of your post, it's quite refreshing.

> We have gotten feedback from a small group of clients with similar
> problems as yours. Our preliminary analysis has indicated that there seems
> to be a compatibility issue with a certain shipment of memory modules.
>
> The RAM modules we use are officially listed by the Manufacturer as being
> compatible with the Motherboard. This is also something we tested
> rigorously before offering the servers, and we found no problems. However,
> since then we have gotten a batch of (the same) modules that use a
> different memory die, and this is apparently what is causing problems. We
> are in in contact with both MSI and Kingston to identify these modules and
> to resolve this issue.

> MSI has been able to provide us with a BIOS update that should resolve the
> problem. You mentioned a BIOS update was already done, but it could be that
> that update was of a previous version. Please get in touch with our
> technicians and ask them to check the BIOS again, to make sure you have
> received the most up to date version.
