[dpdk-users] OS hang when running helloworld example with two I210 NICs

[Michal Michalowski]

Hi Dave,

I have tried your suggestion and it works if one NIC is x16 and the other in x4.

Thanks again,
Michal

Hi Dave,

Yes this is pretty old box. I'll try your suggestion as soon as I get x1 graphics card and let you know.

Thanks for help.

Michal

Michal,
    Looks OK to me. At this point I don't know what's causing your
issue. And it's likely that if you switched those NICs into a more
modern server (the Z200 is quite old at this stage), it's likely that
everything would just work. All I can suggest at this stage is to maybe
get your hands on a PCIe x1 GFX card to free up the x16 slot, and try
using the gen2 x16 and the x4 for the NICs.
Dave.
