[Xen-API] Booting XCP installation

[Bogdan Popescu <bogdanp81@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello everyone,

I've recently retired an old IBM BladeCenter with IBM LS20 bladeservers (AMD Opteron CPUs) and wanted to test XCP on it, but it seems that I cannot get to install the operating system because of some SCSI kernel panic.. I can't really see the whole error though it's something like
EPI scsi_device_dev_context_usercontext and then it says attached scsi devices.. nothing really helpful though.

I've tried to boot with SCSI disabled (so no hard disks) and the installation boots fine.. but obviously I have nowhere to install.. I've also tried to pass different kernel params that I thought might help (i.e. nodisconnect and scsi_mod.scan=none or async) but nothing seems to help and I'm not even sure if the params are actually passed to the kernel or not.. any ideas how I could boot this up or should I just manually do it from a livecd?

I've tried with the XCP 1.5 iso, and here are the actual lines that I see on my screen:
