I played with this a little more and found this: 1) Magma card in z420, connected to chassis containing X540: fails (original report) 2) X540 in z420, Magma card in z420, connected to empty chassis: fails 3) X540 in z420, Magma card in z420 but no cable to chassis: works The only difference I've noticed so far between configs 2 & 3 are different bus numbers and different IRQ assignments: Config 2 (failing): pci 0000:0c:00.0: [8086:1528] type 00 class 0x020000 pci 0000:0c:00.0: reg 0x10: [mem 0xdac00000-0xdadfffff 64bit pref] ixgbe 0000:0c:00.0: irq 82 for MSI/MSI-X IRQ 79: 79 IRQ 80: eth0 IRQ 81: snd_hda_intel IRQ: 82-93 eth1-TxRx-0 through eth1-TxRx-11 IRQ 94: eth1 Config 3 (working): pci 0000:04:00.0: [8086:1528] type 00 class 0x020000 pci 0000:04:00.0: reg 0x10: [mem 0xdac00000-0xdadfffff 64bit pref] ixgbe 0000:04:00.0: irq 75 for MSI/MSI-X IRQ 72: ahci IRQ 73: eth0 IRQ 74: snd_hda_intel IRQ 75-86: eth1-TxRx-0 through eth1-TxRx-11 IRQ 87: eth1 I'll try to narrow this down a little more; I'm just giving you this preliminary info in case it rings any bells for you. >> -----Original Message----- >> From: Bjorn Helgaas [mailto:bhelg...@google.com] >> Sent: Friday, August 09, 2013 10:19 AM >> To: e1000-de...@lists.sourceforge.net >> Cc: linux-...@vger.kernel.org; linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org >> Subject: [E1000-devel] 3.11-rc4 ixgbevf: endless "Last Request of type 00 to >> PF Nacked" messages >> >> When I enable VFs via sysfs on an Intel X540-AT, I see an endless stream of >> >> ixgbevf 0000:08:10.2: Last Request of type 03 to PF Nacked >> >> messages.
