0:00:00:04.613 cpu0:1024)PCI: 1650: failed for 000:03.0

[rndinit0]

I just installed VMware ESX Server v.3.0.1 for the 2nd time

After it boots up, on the console I see the following text in red:

"0:00:00:04.613 cpu0:1024)PCI: 1650: failed for 000:03.0"

I'm running on a Dual P3 @ 1ghz

The strange thing is everything else seems to work fine. But I would like to know what that message means.

Any idea what this means?

I wonder if lspci -v[/b] will give you the answer.

Well here is the output, I still don't understand where the problem lies.

Looks like you found it:

00:03.0 System peripheral: Compaq Computer Corporation Advanced System Management Controller

Perhaps there something in the BIOS you need to disable? Or we can wait for the HP people to wake up.

Ok I see how that error message relates to the output.

Thanks for the help. 😃

Appreciate it.

OK, the same device has error 0:00:00:13.044 cpu0:1024) PCI: 1655: failed for 000:03.0

it seems to be the same hardware:

output oflspci -v:

But i don't know what to do with it. Please help

Also have the same issue - this is an old HP ML570 machine been used as a lab ESX box. Will have to get out the smart start cd as there is nolonger a system managment partion on the disk!

If anyone gets to this page from searching here's my issue and resolution...

I just had this exact problem upgrading from 3.0.1.32039 to 3.5.0.64607 (Feb bits) except mine read "cpu0:1024)PCI: 2302: failed for 000:03.0". Nothing changed hardware wise on the system, I just ran the upgrade tar. Had an error about mkinit not working during the upgrade (resolved by running the upgrade twice - weird). Two onboard NICs enabled in CMOS, plus two Intel dual-port PCI cards in the box. After some digging I noticed that vmnic0 had gone the way of the dodo in ESX for some reason. I had a spare port on one of the add-in cards so I just moved the cable to it (vmnic4) and reconfigured the vswitch to use it, and I'm back in business. Not a clean fix because I'm sure there's nothing wrong with the NIC but a fix nonetheless.

BTW, my "03.0" in lspci was the Intel onboard NIC that disappeared in ESX. Hope this helps someone.
