Hi,
can you please give a few more details about your setup? What version of the Intel DPDK are you using? I tried using the command you give below on my system with 82599-based NICs and testpmd starts up without any issues.
Here's the (clipped for brevity) output that I get:
$ sudo ./testpmd -c 0x0f -n 2 -m 512 -- -i --portmask=0x3 --nb-cores=2 --pkt-filter-mode=perfect --rxq=2 --txq=2
EAL: No free hugepages reported in hugepages-2048kB
EAL: Detected lcore 0 as core 0 on socket 0
EAL: Detected lcore 1 as core 1 on socket 0
... <snip>...
Interactive-mode selected
previous number of forwarding ports 4 - changed to number of configured ports 2
Configuring Port 0 (socket 1)
Configuring Port 1 (socket 1)
Configuring Port 2 (socket 1)
Configuring Port 3 (socket 1)
Checking link statuses...
Port 0 Link Up - speed 10000 Mbps - full-duplex
Port 1 Link Up - speed 10000 Mbps - full-duplex
Port 2 Link Up - speed 10000 Mbps - full-duplex
Port 3 Link Up - speed 10000 Mbps - full-duplex
Done

Perhaps you could also try turning on some of the IXGBE debug options in your compile time config e.g. defconfig_x86_64-default-linuxapp-gcc. Setting "CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_IXGBE_DEBUG_INIT" and "CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_IXGBE_DEBUG_DRIVER" to "y" might provide some useful output.
Regards,
/Bruce
