This here doesn't look like it can be fixed quickly.

The TSC code has issues with the Haswell-EP, maybe harmless.

USB failed completely, maybe interrupt routing or conflicting USB3 that we
don't see on the screen.

A wd device is found but cannot be accessed, that might even not be
the system disk. If that's server hardware (and Haswell-EP tells this)
then it probably has some RAID controller that we don't even
recognize.
