So i wonder what it shows on the installed?
Let me reboot and find out. Standby.
Same firmware version in the booted version from ethtool reported on both NIC ports.
Okay lets look this on the installed system.
sudo dmesg | eso-sendlog
Also a boot log
journalctl -b -0 | eos-sendlog
dmesg: https://clbin.com/r7K6j
journalctl: https://clbin.com/oSF3w
Do you want me to reboot into the live ISO to see the diff?
Sure if you want i just want to see if anything jumps out at me. I’m no expert but i’m curious.
I do notice there is a Bios update F13a for that board.
I see in dmesg

I think it has something to do with the merging of the port speeds. But I’m guessing? I found this
https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=emr_na-c02723278
I think it has something to do with the same as this with an Intel
That looks like a fibre channel article because that’s what would in 4Gb and 8 Gb speeds.
I get that error all the time because I use a HP and CIsco twinax cable that I have. The bnx2x driver always give me the same error message, but it is just because they don’t support the optics in the cables.
Yes you are probably correct that’s what i was reading. Hmm. I have Fibreoptic myself coming into the home and then i have a converter to switch to network that i hook to my Router. The new set up they have removed the converter now and the new routers connect directly to the fibre cable.
Edit: So i got off track here thinking what the heck is the issue?
Looks like that only applies to the intel nic in my research. The bnx2x does not support that flag.
Good catch. They haven’t updated my board in 2 years. I am going to apply the BIOS updates.
Would you be willing to update the Bios and see maybe? Ive looked at dmesg and the boot log and it is the same info.
I have found a difference on the live ISO where it say’s it’s enabling the nic. It’s hard jumping back and forth trying to see this info.
[ 3.118410] bnx2x 0000:06:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002)
[ 3.507595] bnx2x 0000:06:00.1: enabling device (0000 -> 0002)
Edit: It’s odd because the same error message is there but yet it is enabling both ports?
Edit2: The other thing i see is the naming is different on the live vs the installed. eth0 eth1 eth2?
Updating my system BIOS now.
Well, I bricked my system and I am going to need to reinstall.
