TrueNas 13 Core Upgrade Challenge - ib_mthca Hangup

Computer Hardware & Server Infrastructure Builds
1

I recently attempted and upgrade from TrueNAS-12.0-U8.1 to TrueNas 13. After the upgrade, I was not able to get the system to boot. The boot process gets hung up at “ib_mthca: Initalizing ib_mtcha”. I even attempted a fresh install of TrueNas 13, and had the same issue.

Since this is happening on a fresh install I’m assuming it is a hardware comparability issue. This is being installed on a EMC Isilon NL400. Its a SuperMicro built system.

I am not the most proficient in FreeBSD, so any ideas to guide me in the right direction would be appropriated.

Not an issue I have encountered, probably best if posted in their forums

Will do. Thanks Tom. I will update this post with any resolution.

In the event someone else runs into this on the NL400, the error is being caused by the Infiniband adapter installed in most of these machines. Since I am not using it, I simply removed the adapter. The system now boots fine.
