Can you share whether (and which versions of) Intel Boot Agent was enabled for these ports.
It certainly was, first port is used for PXE boot.
This is what I caught on serial console on boot:
------------------------------------------------------------------------ Initializing Intel(R) Boot Agent GE v0.0.13 *** DEVELOPMENT BUILD - NOT FOR PRODUCTION USE!!! *** *** DEVELOPMENT BUILD - NOT FOR PRODUCTION USE!!! *** *** DEVELOPMENT BUILD - NOT FOR PRODUCTION USE!!! *** PXE 2.1 Build 086 (WfM 2.0)
Initializing Intel(R) Boot Agent GE v0.0.13 *** DEVELOPMENT BUILD - NOT FOR PRODUCTION USE!!! *** *** DEVELOPMENT BUILD - NOT FOR PRODUCTION USE!!! *** *** DEVELOPMENT BUILD - NOT FOR PRODUCTION USE!!! *** PXE 2.1 Build 086 (WfM 2.0) Press Ctrl+S to enter the Setup Menu.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Doesn't look wery trustworthy. :-( I'll check if I can find another machine with the same card but more reasonable Intel Boot Agent.
Does the behavior change if Intel Boot Agent is in theopposite state? Was the failing device used for network booting?
This may be a bit tricky, the machine is in a test lab and I have only remote access to it. I'll check if I can disable the Intel Boot Agent using the serial console.
