      Look here http://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/1221

      Just put that tunable in loader.conf.local with value 4 or even 2

        So just to confirm this, the fix is; Install Uniprocessor kernel, disable hyper threading and maxing the mbuf size?

        So a couple of questions;

        1. I take it I need to reinstall for the uniprocessor kernel?

        2. I need to disabled hyperthreading in the BIOS?

        3. I understand I need to edit /boot/loader.conf.local, is this the correct entry to add?

        hw.igb.num_queues=4

          Just this.

              richc - have you had any success?

              I have the same issue.  The LiveCD sees the interfaces on the Quad Nic with the "receive structures" error.  After installing to the Hard disk, it doesn't see the the interfaces at all.  After install, I add the "loader.conf.local" file with "hw.igb.num_queues=4" and nothing changes.

              Question for me is why does the LiveCD handle it different?

                What snapshot build? (It MIGHT make a difference.)

                The difference in behaviour MIGHT be that the Live CD kernel is a uniprocessor kernel while you have installed a SMP kernel. (There was some resource allocation problem previously reported for igb devices that got worse with increasing numbers of devices and increasing numbers of CPUs.) I this explains what you are seeing then  would expect the first boot after install to fail to attach some or all of the igbs (because the updated loader.conf.local wasn't read at boot time because you booted before updating the file) but they should all (or mostly) be seen on subsequent boots (because the updated loader.conf.local file was read at boot time).

                If things don't come good on a reboot after updating the loader.conf.local file (it is /boot/loader.conf.local isn't it?) then please post the output of the pfSense shell command dmesg here so I can get some more clues as to what is going on.

                  Thank you Wall….

                  I wonder if Richc ever got his going.

                  On mine, I disabled Hyperthreading
                  boot the LiveCD  I was on the Feb 5th load.  Today I'm on the RC1 load (just downloaded). Same issue
                  LiveCD detects the quad card (I340-T4) and gives the "Receive Structures" error.  But it sees the ports.
                  I added the hw.igb.num_queues=2 to new loader.conf.local file
                  installed to hard disk with Uniprocessor load
                  after boot to hard disk, the igb driver doesn't get attached.

                  This makes me think there is more differences to the livecd vs hd install.

                  cpu0: <acpi cpu="">on acpi0
                  cpu1: <acpi cpu="">on acpi0
                  cpu2: <acpi cpu="">on acpi0
                  cpu3: <acpi cpu="">on acpi0
                  pcib0: <acpi host-pci="" bridge="">port 0xcf8-0xcff on acpi0
                  pci0: <acpi pci="" bus="">on pcib0

                  pci26: <acpi pci="" bus="">on pcib1
                  pcib2: <acpi pci-pci="" bridge="">irq 16 at device 5.0 on pci0
                  pci31: <acpi pci="" bus="">on pcib2
                  pci0: <base peripheral=""> at device 8.0 (no driver attached)
                  pci0: <base peripheral=""> at device 8.1 (no driver attached)
                  pci0: <base peripheral=""> at device 8.2 (no driver attached)
                  pci0: <base peripheral=""> at device 8.3 (no driver attached)
                  pci0: <base peripheral=""> at device 16.0 (no driver attached)
                  pci0: <base peripheral=""> at device 16.1 (no driver attached)

                  Why would the driver not be loaded with both LiveCD and HD install.
                  I'm not very familiar with Freebsd.  How would I check for the driver.  If there, do I just modprobe it?</acpi></acpi></acpi></acpi></acpi></acpi></acpi></acpi></acpi></acpi>

                      Please post the full dmesg output from the HD boot. The snippet doesn't show what I'm looking for. In particular, comparing the two snippets:

                      @Brutal:

                      pci0: <base peripheral=""> at device 8.0 (no driver attached)
                      pci0: <base peripheral=""> at device 8.1 (no driver attached)
                      pci0: <base peripheral=""> at device 8.2 (no driver attached)
                      pci0: <base peripheral=""> at device 8.3 (no driver attached)
                      pci0: <base peripheral=""> at device 16.0 (no driver attached)
                      pci0: <base peripheral=""> at device 16.1 (no driver attached)

                      This shows device numbers 8 and 16 on pci bus 0 which doesn't match any of
                      @Brutal:

                      igb0: <intel(r) 1000="" pro="" network="" connection="" version="" -="" 2.0.7="">mem 0x91d80000-0x91dfffff,0x91e

                      which are all device number 0 on pci bus 31.

                      @Brutal:

                      How would I check for the driver.  If there, do I just modprobe it?

                      pfSense normally includes all the NIC drivers in the built kernel, rather than as separate loadable modules.

                            It looks as if the devices on pci bus 31 (igb0 through igb3) are not visible in the pci device tree at startup in the HD boot you have logged. If the devices had been visible but unrecognised by any driver I would have expected the startup to report something like:

                            pci31: <network, ethernet="">at device 0.0 (no driver attached)</network,>

                            I have no explanation for why the devices might be visible in the PCI device tree on booting from CD but not on from booting from HD.

                            Could you provide the output of pfSense shell command # pciconf -l -v after booting from HD?

                            Do you see any different behaviour if you

                            • move the igb devices to another slot

                            • turn off the power, wait at least 20 seconds then boot from HD

                              Sorry for the long delay in getting back, I reinstalled with uniprocessor kernel and fixed the kernel  parameter to 4 and it seems to be OK now.

                              How I am just starting testing with LAGGS and trunked VLANs

                                Richc - That's good news.  I didn't intend to hijack your thread, I thought our issues may be similar dealing with the quad cards.

                                Wallybybob  - I pulled the server from our co-lo facility and brought it back to the office.  Upon boot, the HD install saw the card.  Thinking about your last advice about pulling power and how that's in effect what I had just done, I proceeded to do several boots, by pulling power and also by software restarts.

                                Each time the server was booted cold, it saw the card.  Each time the server was soft restarted, it didn't.

                                I went back through the BIOS settings and found a setting for the PCI.  Settings were for Gen1 or Gen2 device.  It was set for Gen1.  I set it for Gen2.  Seems to be working now.  I should have seen that before.

                                I'm going to do some changes to the hyperthreading and SMP install to see what the effects are and I'll post the results.  Thanks again Wally.

                                  First time I've heard of anything like that: a BIOS switch to hide PCI devices on restart, And so aptly named  :)

                                  Well done.

                                    After the bios "Gen2" change, it doesn't matter whether hyperthreading is active, or if the SMP kernel is installed, or both.  Works fine.

                                    It also doesn't matter whether the hw.igb.num_queues is set for 2 or 4.

                                    In case anyone is interested, this is on an IBM x3250 M3 server with a I340-4t quad card.  It is a bit finicky about having power pulled and reapplied.  Tends to lock up internals if you don't wait a bit.  It's also a very long boot process.  This runs the UEFI bios change.

                                    I'll be installing a twin for CARP soon.  Just love pf.

                                    Thanks again for your assistance.

                                      I suspect that it will matter if you have "enough" cores or "enough" cards.
