The error message you have corresponds to this code:

        /*
         * Initialize driver parameters
         */
        if (ixgbe_init_driver_settings(ixgbe) != IXGBE_SUCCESS) {
                ixgbe_error(ixgbe, "Failed to initialize driver settings");
                goto attach_fail;
        }

If you can, could you please run the attached dtrace script as follows:

	./downstack.d ixgbe_init_driver_settings

and then run "ifconfig ixgbe0 plumb" (assuming ixgbe0 is one of the bad ones) to narrow it down to where it fails?  The output may be quite large.

One thing else:

> # cat /etc/*release
>   OmniOS v11 r151011

This is the "bloody" release, not the latest supported one, FYI.

Regardless, the X540 board you mention SHOULD work.

Is there any other ixgbe output around here?  Uttering "dmesg | grep ixgbe" and seeing if there's anything else complain-y would be nice.

It'll be even larger than the DTrace output, but can you put the output of "prtconf -v" from your system somewhere, even in a mail here as an attachment?

Thanks,
Dan
