BIG-IP Virtual Edition (VE) crashes in the kernel during early boot.
Kernel panic during boot.
This occurs when the following conditions are met: * VE is running on Hyper-V. * VE RAM is configured in a such a way that it spans multiple NUMA nodes.
No workaround.
The kernel now properly aligns memory on multiple NUMA nodes, so there is no kernel panic during boot.
