Got back to work today and started checking this - first no joy at all. Still the same issues, except if I deleted the entries in modules.conf there were no errors during startup, the system indiscated the ethx ports had started - but they hadn't!!
So pulled the server out of the rack to check jumpers on the mother board, they were both set to enable, what the heck moved one to disable and both NIC's came up (to this point I was not even getting green lights). The tech said they wouldn't power up until the drivers were running properly - shouldn't listen to him. Thought that was weird so put them both back to enable and got two brand new cables out of the box - both NIC's with lights and no errors on startup!! Yeah!! Must have been the cables - which is weird as they worked with the previous mother board. Put the server back in the rack, same cables, only one comes on!!! Arghhhhhhh. But at least that card is working fine. Now have to pull it out of the rack again!!!!!! Ain't life grand!
