Hi,

We want to introduce Intel Knights Landing (KNL) nodes into our cluster, and 
observed the following problem: Node reboots successfully with desired NUMA and 
MCDRAM modes, but remains in state down.

From slurmctl.log:

Here some additional information:

knl_generic.conf:
SyscfgPath=/usr/bin/syscfg/syscfg

sbatch Command:
sbatch -p phi -C flat,a2a -N1 --exclusive job.slurm



Any suggestion is welcome.

Cheers,
