[ofa-general] Can't Initialize an MT23108 HCA

[Mike Heinz]

Roland, Boris,

Good news for you, bad news for me. When I switched a different machine
over to a Tavor HCA, the HCA came up as expected. So, the problem is
either with the particular machine or particular HCA.

I'll keep playing to see if I can isolate the important factor, but it
doesn't look like an OFED problem. (unless it's a problem with early
Opteron boxes or something like that...)

What are the details of the machine where you're seeing this problem?

I seem to recall some ancient Dell systems had problems with PCI-X HCAs
not reappearing on PCI after an HCA reset.

Also it might be worth checking that your BIOS is up-to-date.
