After fighting with the update process for a bit and then learning about the live cycle manager I have managed to test the
R610 with the
5.0.9 firmware.

On the face of it, it seems that this resolves the issue.

After a reboot this morning the error has resurfaced and the box is again useless.

Can you try a different test?  Power-on the system with the network
cable attached to an idle switch (i.e. keep all network traffic from
being forwarded to the NIC during driver initialization).  Does the
system power up successfully? Repeatedly? The problem I saw was caused by network traffic being handled by the NIC during driver
initialization.  If you still see the same behavior then this might
be a different issue.


Looks like we are heading in the right direction here.

Setup:

R610[bce1]->Netgear 100/10 unmanaged switch-[uplink]->Managed server access switch.

The R610 is the only thing connected to the netgear switch.

When the uplink was severed during boot up it was reconnected after the link up event and while the NFS mounts where being mounted.

Cold reboots are with the server shutdown with the psu's remaining connected and then restarted.

Warm are just 'shutdown -r now'

Ice are from the psus disconnected from the mains supply.

These results are time ordered.

We can provide full remote access to the following hardware (via enterprise drac) if required and on site hands if this will help get this issue resolved.

3 * R610
4 * R410
7 * R710
