I found a 2009 Xserve for a great price locally, and I bought it to replace my 2008 Xserve. I wanted to upgrade the built-in MXM card in the 2009, so I removed that MXM card and put my GTX 670 from my '08 into slot 2 of the '09.
I get nothing but a kernel panic every time I start up with the card plugged in.
I tried booting to an install drive and it still kernel panics when the system is booted up. The kernel panic happens after about 30 seconds of boot. I can tell when the panic happens because the network activity lights go from gigabit to 10/100 when the machine restarts.
I unplugged the card (so now no GPU is installed) and the machine booted right up, no issues. Via screen sharing, I slowly and laggily got this ominous panic report:
And then a second for the second reboot:
Thinking that my GTX 670 was dead, I reconnected it to the '08. The card displayed a picture perfectly.
Next, I tried putting the default MXM card back in to the '09, and that works, but only via a mDP to DVI adapter to an old DVI monitor. When I try to connect to HDMI with a mDP to HDMI adapter, I get no picture or anything on the screen. The screen is 1920x1080, and I know that the adapter works.
What could be the problem here? Is my Xserve a dud?

Thinking that my GTX 670 was dead, I reconnected it to the '08. The card displayed a picture perfectly.
Next, I tried putting the default MXM card back in to the '09, and that works, but only via a mDP to DVI adapter to an old DVI monitor. When I try to connect to HDMI with a mDP to HDMI adapter, I get no picture or anything on the screen. The screen is 1920x1080, and I know that the adapter works.
What could be the problem here? Is my Xserve a dud?
