Draptor,

With the issue you are having it looks like the BIOS might be out of date. The current update addressed the CPLD and I believe if you update the server's BIOS, Drac, as well as the controller then the issue will resolve itself. With it looking like it won't boot I would suggest booting to OMSA live to run the updates. You can find the updates here - http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/product-support/product/poweredge-r720/drivers

The ISO to boot to , OMSA Live can be found here - http://linux.dell.com/files/openmanage-contributions/om73-firmware-live/Centos64-OM73-Firmware-LiveDVD.x86_64-1.1.0-Build8.1.iso

Let me know what you see.

Its not my own server (VDS leased in Hetzner DC). Hetzners technicians decided to simply change the server, for whatever reason were not told. But the new server is a replica of the old one - so your help would be very welcome. Thank you. I'll try to update everything as you said.
