Hello,

21/05/2013 17:19, Pichon Julien :

I think you should upgrade your kernel.
Vanilla Linux versions < 2.6.34 are known to be buggy about huge pages.
Huge pages support is important for DPDK and it could be the cause of your 
ixgbe problem.
Note that I don't know if this Debian kernel has backported patches to fix 
hugepages support.
