I do have the uio and igb_uio modules loaded.
For my issue, I found a workaround by manually creating /dev/uio0 using
mknod.
But I still get the vfio error.
If I try "sudo modprobe vfio" but that gives an error that Module vfio not
found.
I tried looking for vfio.ko in the dpdk source tree as well but could not
find that module.
How can I install the vfio module?
Thanks!
