The User Guide says that the minimum kernel version is:

    Kernel version >= 2.6.34

http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/linux_gsg/sys_reqs.html#system-software


This was increased from 2.6.33 in the 2.2 release in response to this commit:

    2e6e9e215703 ("igb_uio: use existing PCI macros")

This was discussed and agreed on the mailing list.
