globadyne Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 (edited) Hi All, at a bit of a loss and trying to fend off frustration but cant for the life of me figure out why my Intel X520 is not working in Unraid - Card shows up in System Devices but no Eth shows up in Network Config Settings - Even if my transceivers were incorrect the Eth jacks should still show up shouldnt threy? Ive tried looking into the Eprom of the card - before i adjusted the EPROM for additional transceivers I deleted the Network.cfg files and rebooted to the Gui and still wasnt able to see the eth adapters. Looks like the driver is in Use - and Im kind of at a loss here Do i need to inject a driver or add commands for boot? not sure where to go from here or how to determind the diagnostics file looking for help Feb 2 19:02:03 Whoville kernel: ixgbe: Intel(R) 10 Gigabit PCI Express Network Driver Feb 2 19:02:03 Whoville kernel: ixgbe: Copyright (c) 1999-2016 Intel Corporation.

JorgeB Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 NIC is failing to initialize but there's no reason why, you can try a different PCI slot or try the NIC in the different PC to confirm it's working. Quote Link to comment
globadyne Posted February 3 Author Share Posted February 3 Only slot available sadly I have tested card in another system I was getting BAR errors I wonder if this is OS related I've seen a few posts that it could be kernel or or set PCI alloc off in syslinux Quote Link to comment
Solution JorgeB Posted February 3 Solution Share Posted February 3 7 minutes ago, globadyne said: or set PCI alloc off in syslinux You can try that, I remember seeing other users with the same issue and trying a different Linux OS with a similar kernel didn't help, confirming it's not an Unraid issue.

globadyne Posted February 3 Author Share Posted February 3 I tried it in Ubuntu 22.04 and it worked albeit in a different board I wouldn't think I'm overloaded on my lanes 12 600k on a z790. I have an LSI HBA in the bottom slot driving for hard drives a singular NVME Oh, attempting to use this Intel X 520 card and I have two of the saddle plugs enabled on the board Even if the LSI card ran it has speed, it would still be more than enough. I wonder if it's something to do with the way the boards allocating I thought I saw a post on that Quote Link to comment
globadyne Posted February 3 Author Share Posted February 3 @JorgeB So status Tried Realloc and nic links show up but are down Is that more in line with the cable being unsupported ? Quote Link to comment

Garland.Joseph97 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Hello, Just wanted to piggyback on this thread. I'm having the same issue with a x520-DA2. It shows up in the device list, but nothing shown on the network page. hypeserver-diagnostics-20240205-1951.zip Quote Link to comment

Garland.Joseph97 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 @JorgeB Just tried that and no luck unfortunately Quote Link to comment

Garland.Joseph97 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Good call, here is my latest diag. The device is still showing up in the systems devices list, but nothing in network settings. hypeserver-diagnostics-20240207-0719.zip Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 I'm not seeing the pci=realloc=off boot option, did you remove it? Quote Link to comment
Garland.Joseph97 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 (edited) @JorgeB I added it wrong the first time, made this change and now (1) port is showing up in network settings. but the port is down. I'll go check my cables in the morning. hypeserver-diagnostics-20240207-2246.zip Edited February 8 by Garland.Joseph97 answered my own question Quote Link to comment
Garland.Joseph97 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Everything is working normally. The non working port was due to a noncompatible SFP. I swapped it and now both appear to be working. Thank you for the help everyone! 1 Quote Link to comment
