Installing WS 2022 on HPE Proliant DL380 Gen 10 - Driver PNP Watchdog issue

[Rikard_Thexder]

Hey everyone, I have been trying to install Windows Server 2022 on my Proliant DL380 Servers. Had a bunch of issues originally and coundn't even boot from the USB. Any way I have updated all the firmware I can find, I have up dated the IP and it see's WS 2022, it runs through the IP setup fine, but on first boot all I get is the "Windows dots" loading, for ages then BSOD with Driver PNP Watchdog. This happens when I use IP, or install from iLO Virtual CD, use Win PE. Any help would be great I have been at this for a week googling and trying everything I can find.

Hello,

Try the below settings and check if that addresses the issue.

Log into BIOS and change the Workload profile to High Performance Compute (HPC)

Download a new ISO file, deploy from Intelligent provisioning and check if that address the issue.

If the issue persists, Please raise a support case with HPE.

Cheers...

Thanks MV3,
I did note that the IP changed alot of my firmware to lower versions.
Will I expect it to break if I up the firmware versions?

Hello,

Basically IP upgardation\downgrdadation  will not downgrade the firmware of the other devices to lower version.

Can you please try updating the firmware from SPP, reboot and monitor the server for any changes on the firmware version.

Cheers
