Server not booting
« on: November 14, 2016, 08:41:07 pm »
I have a client running Zentyal... it was setup before I was involved with them so I don't know anything about it.

All of a sudden it's throwing the attached error on boot.

I'm mainly a Windows tech, so my knowledge of Ubuntu is casual at best.

Any ideas? As far as I know nothing has changed, no new devices, no recent upgrades, etc.

It's an HP Proliant ML150G6 if that helps.

Thanks,

Mike

Howdy,

could you post what is before this?

By the Screenshot I would bet on an hardware failiure...
Maybe a defective CPU / RAM / Storage?

Could you do a check with a live-CD/DVD? (Hiren /nearly every Linux Live Media)

Regards

Thomas

This is a hardware failure - the error message is about interrupts. If you can enter the BIOS/UEFI setup utility (usually DEL, F2 or F10 key during the POST sequence) try disabling onboard devices (audio-, usb controllers, serial/printer/other ports) and remove PCI cards you don't need, if the defective device is one of those your server will boot up. If it still don't boot you must replace your hardware.
