Issue

I see the following kernel message in system logs:

linux-kernel-bde 0000:01:00.0: vpd r/w failed. This is likely a firmware bug on this device. Contact the card vendor for a firmware update.

Environment

  • Cumulus Linux, all versions

Resolution

This message can be ignored.

Root Cause

This message is triggered by a harmless PCI non-conformity in the ASIC. It can be produced by running lspci -vv on the command line. lspci is also run by cl-support, which is a common trigger for this message.

This support portal has moved

Cumulus Networks is now part of the NVIDIA Networking Business Unit! The NVIDIA Cumulus Global Support Services (GSS) team has merged its operations with the NVIDIA Mellanox support services team.

You can access NVIDIA Cumulus support content from the Mellanox support portal.

You open and update new cases on the Mellanox support portal. Any previous cases that have been closed have been migrated to the Mellanox support portal.

Cases that are still open on the Cumulus portal will continue to be managed on the Cumulus portal. Once these cases close, they will be moved to the Mellanox support portal.
