Oracle Linux, SLES, RHEL, and Oracle VM Known Open Issues
Description
Oracle Linux 5.6 and RHEL 5.6 Fail to Allocate Memory Space on Onboard Intel 82576
Network Interface Card Ports
Issue:
Oracle Linux 5.6 and RHEL 5.6 display PCI: Failed to allocate mem resource for an onboard
Intel 82576 network interface card, which supports the Intel SR-IOV feature. Oracle Linux 5.6 and
RHEL 5.6 will then attempt to allocate memory space that is required by Virtual Function exported
by Intel's SR-IOV capability.
Affected Operating Systems:
■ Oracle Linux 5.6
■ Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5.6
Workaround:
First enable SR-IOV support and ARI support features from the Advanced Menu in the BIOS Setup
Utility.

Z) and the Sun 10GbE SFP+ PCIe 2.0 Low Profile Adapter (X1109A-Z) do not work normally
because of a XEN kernel issue.
Affected Operating System:
■ SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 10 SP4
Workaround:
This issue has been fixed in SLES 11 SP1 XEN kernel; however, there is no workaround for this
issue in SLES 10 SP4 XEN kernel.
