[dpdk-users] DPDK MLX5 Probe error

[Raslan Darawsheh]

Hi Mora,

First of all,
Sorry for late response.

I see you are trying to get back to an old version of OFED 4.4, 
Can you please try to run with this version:
MLNX_OFED_LINUX-4.5-1.0.1.0: you can find the version here:
http://www.mellanox.com/page/products_dyn?product_family=26&mtag=linux_sw_drivers

as for installing OFED let's try it like this <the order of the parameters (dpdk, upstream-libs) mattered for some of our versions:
./mlnxofedinstall --dpdk --upstream-libs --force 
Then do:
/etc/init.d/openibd force-restart

Once this is all done, let me know and we can have some debug session if you still have some issues in running DPDK there.

Kindest regards,
Raslan Darawsheh
