Hi Jon,

The original error message you mentioned "failed to load because an unsupported 
SFP+ module type was detected." is triggered ixgbe not getting the correct 
identifier back when it queries the NIC's EEPROM.  Normally this means just 
what the message says, you have a SFP+ module in the NIC that isn't supported.

Now in your case I'm not that sure as you also got the NMI error.

I have a couple questions.

- do you see the NMI error every time you boot?  If so could you send us some 
of the log like you did with the unsupported SFP+ message? 

- Have you tried loading without and SFP+ module in the system?  Do you still 
see the failure?

- Have you tried updating your BIOS like it was mentioned in the BZ?

Thanks,
-Don Skidmore <[email protected]>
