> I observe continuous burst of I/O Errors, as indicated below, with the testpmd application with DPDK 1.7.1.This seems to originate from eal_intr_process_interrupts() function. I seemed to have setup the DPDK prerequisites alright.
> Another recent post seemed to suggest moving back to 1.7.0, however I would like to persist with 1.7.1.
> Any help/pointers in resolving this would be greatly appreciated.
> Much thanks,Raghav
