If SR-IOV is enabled on the adapter then the ports will always operate
in Ethernet mode as it's apparently not supported for IB. Perhaps SR
-IOV enabled on some adapters but not others?
If that's not the issue, it looks like you are supposed to set a module
parameter in mlx4_core:
port_type_array:Array of port types: HW_DEFAULT (0) is default 1 for IB, 2 for Ethernet (array of int)
e.g.:
options mlx4_core port_type_array=1,1
I don't know what determines the hardware default.

No, it is important (since it is a regression) but it is not critical.

And that's why you tested on one machine first, right?

I say we take off; nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
