That almost certainly isn't the problem. All development was carried out on memfree cards; that command is expected to fail (hence the comment in the source code).

You may be doomed to failure using Arbel cards for SRP. It works fine with Hermon (aka ConnectX) cards. With Arbel, I was never able to fix an unknown problem which caused an almost immediate reboot:

Your current problem is earlier than that, since you're not getting as far as link-up. Have you established that your subnet manager is working: for example, can you get link-up from something that isn't running iPXE on the same subnet?

To debug link-up problems from within iPXE, you could try building with

DEBUG=infiniband,ib_mi,ib_smc,ib_sma
