Hi all,
I have kind of a strange question. We have some nodes we are netbooting
that are using an Intel 10G card with a non-intel SFP. In order for the
ixgbe driver to permit the SFP to work, you have to pass it the
"allow_unsupported_sfp=1" option.
This works when booted completely into the OS by booting from an Intel
SFP, then swapping it out and reloading the module. However it is not
working during boot time. I have tried passing it as a kernel flag using
the addkcmdline option but it doesn't seem to be seeing the flag, or if
it is, it's ignoring it.
I am still working on manually manipulating the init script itself
inside the initrd file to see if that will work, but wanted to check and
see if, while the initrd is executing, kernel parameters are even seen
at that time? This would help me narrow down what my options are.
Thank you!
