DESCRIPTION
NetWare may ABEND with a CPU Hog Detected by Timer message when installing or running NetWare 6.5 SP5 on an HP ProLiant DL380 G5 server with a System ROM (P56 family) dated 30 May 2006 if a PCI-Express Adapter is configured in Slot 3 of the PCI-Express Riser Cage. When this occurs, the server stops responding and the message, Please Wait appears while the network adapter driver is loading, followed by the ABEND.
This occurs because the interrupt for Port 2 of the Embedded Dual NC373i Multifunction Gigabit Network Adapter is shared with Slot 3 in the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) table.
RESOLUTION
The CPU Hog Detected by Timer ABEND has been corrected in an updated version of the System ROM for the ProLiant DL380 G5 server. When this System ROM becomes available, this advisory will be updated.
As a workaround until the updated System ROM is available, move the controller to a slot OTHER than Slot 3 of the PCI-Express Riser Cage.
