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

[Michal Michalowski]

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.
