Citrix Hypervisor ( XenServer )

Problems running Citrix XenServer 6.0 on IBM HS22 Blades

Alexander Ervik Johnsen Citrix, IBM, IBM HS22 Blades with XenServer 6.0, Problem booting XenServer 6 on IBM HS22, UEFI, XenServer 2011-10-19

I’ve been struggling for 2 days now with one of my IBM HS 22 Blades. The problem was after installing Citrix XenServer 6.0 it just went into a boot loop.
I tried all sorts of things, from booting it up with a boot cd, to look at the RAW Linux partitions, to BIOS. The problem lies with the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI).

If it does not have Legacy Support when running XenServer 6.0, it will go into a boot loop.

Here is what you need to do:

Wait for the UEFI boot to finish.
