After i40e driver update some servers do not load the new driver on boot.
Issue
-
We manually compiled the latest i40e drivers , regenerated initrd with
dracut -f
and rebooted. -
The older i40e drivers are still being used instead of the manually compiled driver.
Note: This may apply to any drivers you might have manually compiled
