firstly I installed the X520-SR2 on a hypertown server, it is OK

(Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5440 @ 2.83GHz)

but It failed to initialize when I move it to a HP DL380(Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5540 @ 2.53GHz,

http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/sm/WF05a/15351-15351-3328412-241644-241475-3884082.html http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/sm/WF05a/15351-15351-3328412-241644-241475-3884082.html )

And it report these errors:

I also tried to use YAST(SUSE Linux11+SP1,kernel 2.6.32) to configure the NIC,it said "bus error maybe due to firmware missing." something like that

when I reboot the machine, it shows EEPROM checksum is invalid followed by kernel panic.

Thanks a lot!

anyone can take a look at this article?

I got a similar problem with X520-SR2 (SLES11+SP1)

the kernel got panic due to NMI occured.

Have you found a resolution?

Is the server BIOS up to date?

Are you using the same SFP+ modules that you used in the server where the adapter works OK?

Have you tried the http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=14687 3.1.15 driver?
