In a VM Fusion environment configured with 2 processors with 1 core each I get the following:
PANIC in rte_eal_init(): Cannot init logs 4: [/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so<http://libc.so/>.6(__libc_start_main+0xf5) [0x7f9fd3bdaec5]] 3: [/usr/lib/dpdk-2.0.0/librte_eal.so<http://librte_eal.so/>.1(rte_eal_init+0x123a) [0x7f9fd4f462fa]] 2: [/usr/lib/dpdk-2.0.0/librte_eal.so<http://librte_eal.so/>.1(__rte_panic+0xc3) [0x7f9fd4f449e8]] 1: [/usr/lib/dpdk-2.0.0/librte_eal.so<http://librte_eal.so/>.1(rte_dump_stack+0x16) [0x7f9fd4f4daa6]] Aborted (core dumped) rte_socket_id() was returning 0xFFFFFFFF here: (gdb) bt #0 0x00007ffff797ae95 in rte_malloc_socket () from /usr/lib/dpdk-2.0.0/librte_malloc.so.1 #1 0x00007ffff797af4e in rte_zmalloc_socket () from /usr/lib/dpdk-2.0.0/librte_malloc.so.1 #2 0x00007ffff7573ef8 in rte_ring_create () from /usr/lib/dpdk-2.0.0/librte_ring.so.1 #3 0x00007ffff777770d in rte_mempool_xmem_create () from /usr/lib/dpdk-2.0.0/librte_mempool.so.1 #4 0x00007ffff7777b97 in rte_mempool_create () from /usr/lib/dpdk-2.0.0/librte_mempool.so.1 #5 0x00007ffff7b90899 in ??

This was not a problem in 1.6. Jeff
