X10SLH-F suddenly started to display artifacts

[Brian_DK]

Hi,

Suddenly after a reboot of my X10SLH-F based server both physical monitor AND IPMI/iKVM (HTML5) started to display artifacts. But it is first when VMware is starting displaying its "graphical" screen. There is no problem entering BIOS or seeing POST actions while booting.

I have attached a snippet from IPMI/iKVM, but it is also the same when viewing on a monitor attached physical to the onboard VGA.

I have tried resetting IPMI and reflash with the same firmware version. It is running the latest - 3.90.

Does any of you have seen something like it before?

Regard
Brian

After some more testing it seems to be an VMware update that have wrecked the graphics due to the fact that it does not have a driver for the Aspeed board anymore.
A boot on Windows 7 does not have any artifacts.
