Hey guys,

Currently running a H11Dsi-NT with two ES Epycs (1.6ghz).
I'm having trouble getting the system to boot an operating system.
Linux distributions only boot with acpi=off (which disables hyperthreading), and windows installers crash.
I'm on 1.1c, the latest BIOS available.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Edit: I appear to be running the same ES CPU as MrCake, who is using BIOS 1.0c.
Could my BIOS version be the problem?

Yes, try downgrading the bios. As written in the start post I encountered problems with the newer agesa updates and windows.

Try to boot with Core performance boost disable at first
If not working I’ll try to share a copy of my bios

Unfortunately, disabling core performance boost somehow makes the system hang at DXE--CPU Initialization.
I'll leave the system running overnight to see if it just needs a bit more time.
It'd be great if you could share a copy of your bios.

You can also find archived bios version here:

Leaving the system running is not going to help you with your problem.

I think you have to do the flash via ipmi, at least i couldn't downgrade with afuefi.

If anyone with a H11DSI-NT is feeling lucky here's a modded Bios (ver 1.0c) with hopefully a unlocked CBS Menu.

Only flash it if you're sure you can recover if it's not working, this is untested! It opens without any issues in AMI tools and displays all menus correctly but this does not necessarily mean it really works.

Well I tried, it post but CBS menu doesn't show up and I can't get acces to IPMI and Event logs menu.
Once I'm in "IPMI" or "Event logs" i cannot get out by pressing ESC,have to power cycle...
I get this instead.

Also i get a ton of extra PCIe slot options and some option are already preconfigured,coming from the H11DSU-iN i guess.

At least something from the cbs menu went somewhere. I'll give it another try but i'll probably end up in the winraid forum asking for help at some point.
