I recently deployed a few GH200 servers with Bluefield-3 cards. I installed Rocky 9.3 (kernel 5.14.0-362.8.1) and everything looks great. I can see the ports in ip addr. As soon as I run dnf update and it installs the new kernel (5.14.0-427.13.1) the card completely disappears.
Since this is a GH200, I’m using the aarch64+64k. Is this specific to ARM64, or is anyone seeing this in the x86_64 version as well?
Just downloaded the Rocky 9.4 aarch64 ISO and confirm that the BF3 card doesn’t show up in the installer at all. It shows up in Rocky/RHEL 9.3.
Hi ,
Which version of DOCA are you using ?
Rocky Linux 9.3 is supported , 9.4 is not supported with this kernel
