OK, I'm running CentOS Linux 6.9 x86_64, on a ASUS MB with a Intel Core I7-5820(?) with 64 GB RAM. My storage is 2 - 120 GB PNY SSD and 2 - WD 4TB Black with everything setup as software raid1.
I've been having some hardware error issues and the machine would terminate, so this came up after almost all of those errors were corrected.
On a warm boot (i.e. after upgrading from 6.8 to 6.9) I noticed that I'm getting a message 'Initialization Delayed) on the NIC card which causes the virtualization to fail (ifcfg-br0 and ifcfg-br1 are assigned to ports 3 and 4 on the 82571 NIC). Everything works just great on a cold boot.
What can I do to correct this? Is there a parameter I can set to get this to work on a warm boot? Should I remove this card and get a replacement? What should I replace it with?
TIA
