Strange, I'm not sure what's going on. Some firmware commands are succeeding and then one fails with a status that the firmware should never return. Taking a wild guess about what might be affecting this, how much memory does your system have installed?
16 gigabytes.
Can you make sure your kernel is built with CONFIG_INFINIBAND_MTHCA_DEBUG=y and then send the output of loading the driver with the debug_level module option set to 1?
This is the output with debug_level set to 1: ib_mthca: Mellanox InfiniBand HCA driver v0.08 (February 14, 2006) ib_mthca: Initializing 0000:04:00.0 ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:04:00.0[A] -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17 PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:04:00.0 to 64 ib_mthca 0000:04:00.0: FW version 000000000000, max commands 1 ib_mthca 0000:04:00.0: Catastrophic error buffer at 0x0, size 0x0 ib_mthca 0000:04:00.0: FW size 0 KB ib_mthca 0000:04:00.0: Clear int @ 0, EQ arm @ 0, EQ set CI @ 0 Uhhuh. NMI received for unknown reason 31. Do you have a strange power saving mode enabled? Dazed and confused, but trying to continue ib_mthca 0000:04:00.0: No HCA-attached memory (running in MemFree mode) ib_mthca 0000:04:00.0: Mapped 0 chunks/0 KB for FW. ib_mthca 0000:04:00.0: MAP_FA returned status 0xff, aborting. ib_mthca 0000:04:00.0: Failed to start FW, aborting. ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:04:00.0 disabled ib_mthca: probe of 0000:04:00.0 failed with error -22 There are some extra message because I enabled NMIs in the BIOS setup. Does this mean that the adapter doesn't have a firmware?
