Okay, the content of the initramfs looks good. Now it is time to test if the mlx4_en kernel module is loaded when the hardware is present. Can you boot the system and check with "lsmod | grep mlx4" that the module is loaded? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of

[Bug 1693503] Re: Remove mlx4.conf

The kernel will automatically load the mlx4 kernel module which will request to load the mlx4_en and mlx4_ib modules if it detects Ethernet or InfiniBand ports (see mlx4_request_modules() in drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx4/main.c). So /etc/modprobe.d/mlx4.conf can be dropped from kmod. Can you
