I have install latest PVE 4.1 and also update it to the latest pve kernel and also other packages.

In bios, I have ensured that sr-iov function is turned on. (also bios is updated to the latest version)

However, I am not able to enable x552/x557's sr-iov function (which uses intel ixgbe driver)

On the same board, it has nother NIC intel i350, it has no problem turn on SR-IOV

If I switch OS to Ubuntu 15.10. I am able to enable x552/x557's sr-iov

This issue can only be solve by PVE team with the correct version of kernel or correct version of intel ixgbe driver.

Hello,
I used following setting and made X552& X520 sr-iov enabled.

Code:
echo "options ixgbe allow_unsupported_sfp=1,1 max_vfs=4,4,4,4" > /etc/modprobe.d/ixgbe.conf
depmod -a
update-initramfs -u
