I have a probe issue, -22 means invalid value, but I don't know why. Maybe will I need to debug it, in order to find the line which fails and why, but I wondered if some people in here could have answers to it :). My device is a 15b3:6764 (Mellanox MT2648).

That error message seems to relate to SRIOV support: /* We reset the device and enable SRIOV only for physical * devices. Try to claim ownership on the device; * if already taken, skip -- do not allow multiple PFs */ err = mlx4_get_ownership(dev); if (err) { if (err < 0) goto err_free_dev; else { mlx4_warn(dev, "Multiple PFs not yet supported." " Skipping PF.\n"); err = -EINVAL; goto err_free_dev; } } Isn't SRIOV support a "work in progress" for the Mellanox devices? The rest of the logging (snipped) seems to suggest that the ".0" PFs did initialize correctly, so are you simply worried about the messages in the log? rick jones ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

Initializing is ok, but probe fails, so I can't use the device, this is what I am worried about :). I have two types of devices : be2net and mlx4. I want to have bonding between them, and using an old kernel (debian lenny, 2.6.26), and the drivers directly recompiled from mellanox website I can get it work. Using the latest kernel (3.4.0-rc2) and using "modprobe mlx4_en" I get the same messages related to mlx4_core, but it loads some ethernet ports. When booting, it detects the mlx and udev loads mlx4_core, not mlx4_en... I will try to force it (but I am sure there is a clean way to do that ;-)).
