[E1000-devel] Odd MSI-X/MSI/APIC selection behavior....

[Gary W. <gew...@gm...>]

Greetings,

I'm investigating an odd behavior my department is seeing on a fleet of
Dell R815 machines.  We're using a quad interface card with four Intel
82576 Gigabit NICs on it.  Sometimes, unpredictably, after a reboot of the
host, the NICs will come up with MSI or APIC instead of MSI-X.  We're
running these machines on RHEL 5u7, kernel 2.6.18-274.3.1.el5 and version
3.0.6-k2-1 of the igb driver.  The NIC firmware is version 1.5-1.

Has anyone seen this behavior before?
