[dpdk-dev] Unable to run helloworld successfully

[Surya Nimmagadda]

Hi,

My setup is a Ubuntu VM with two 1GE ports bound to igb_uio module.

I reserved 64 huge pages.

When I try to run the helloworld or test or testpmd programs, I see that it silently aborts after trying to setup memory.

$ sudo examples/helloworld/build/helloworld -c 0xf -n 1

Am I missing something?
