I worked around it by including the ql2200_fw.bin file into the initrd,
by using this initramfs hook file:
% cat /etc/initramfs-tools/hooks/qla2200
#!/bin/sh
. /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hook-functions
mydest="lib/firmware/${version}"
mkdir -p ${DESTDIR}/$mydest
copy_exec /lib/firmware/ql2200_fw.bin /$mydest
# maybe needed
copy_exec /lib/firmware/ql2200_fw.bin /lib/firmware
# almost definitely needed
copy_exec /lib/udev/firmware.agent /lib/udev/
--cut--
Also, it's of utmost importance *not* to put qla2xxx into the modules file,
because that will try to load the module just before the init-premount
scripts have run, and one of those scripts starts udev, which is necessary
for the firmware loader to work.

Hi, I just tested this on my Netra-X1. I am seeing occasional Kernel unaligned access messages as follows Kernel unaligned access at TPC[5e4420] ip_rcv+0xd0/0x58c Kernel unaligned access at TPC[517f84] ip_fast_csum+0xc/0x80 Kernel unaligned access at TPC[517f88] ip_fast_csum+0x10/0x80 Kernel unaligned access at TPC[517f8c] ip_fast_csum+0x14/0x80 Kernel unaligned access at TPC[517f94] ip_fast_csum+0x1c/0x80 These repeat something around every 6 seconds (although it often varies). I've dumped the network traffic (both from the box itself and from another) and I cannot see any obvious traffic pattern that causes things to break. I suspect that the problem has something to do with the tulip network driver but do not have any better clue than that. I guess that I need to log this as a bug. Notes: 1 - the network is actually usable even with the issues (not surprising the messages are just the kernel telling us that it has "fixed" the problem. 2 - I had seen a similar thing with an earlier 2.6.18 kernel but at that time I couldn't be sure whether it was my compilation environment that was causing it.

Hm, on related note, today I tried to upgrade my Fire 280R from its old 2.4.30. I installed the latest one in etch, I think it was apt-get install linux-image-2.6.18-3-sparc64, and that installed version 2.6.18.dfsg.1-7, I believe. I didn't try any earlier 2.6.x, so this is not necessarily a regression from the last Debian's kernel, just a general problem. On my Fire 280R, it has two problems: * I had to set video=atyfb:off, otherwise I don't see anything after 'Booting Linux' - the same thing that Jim Watson, Riccardo Tortorici and Thomas Köllmann reported earlier in various threads * the Qlogic FC controller booted, reported that it can't load firmware, and then just continued to sit there waiting. :( The first issue has a clear workaround (even if horrible, because the default display mode is very, very slow to render text), but I can't quite figure out the second one (and it's tedious to debug). I actually downloaded a file from the URL provided in the kernel help, and put it into /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware, but it seems sort of obvious that that won't quite work if you can't even get to / without the firmware. -- 2.

Yesterday I installed linux-image-2.6.18-4-sparc64-smp on my Ultra 60. To get through dpkg --configure from a running 2.6.18 kernel I needed the yaird patch from #396193. There are some strange messages at the end of dmesg: Kernel unaligned access at TPC[433e34] cp_compat_stat64+0x3c/0x1ec Kernel unaligned access at TPC[433e44] cp_compat_stat64+0x4c/0x1ec Kernel unaligned access at TPC[433e58] cp_compat_stat64+0x60/0x1ec Kernel unaligned access at TPC[433e68] cp_compat_stat64+0x70/0x1ec Kernel unaligned access at TPC[433e7c] cp_compat_stat64+0x84/0x1ec But I don't notice any problem with this kernel!

I installed this on an up-to-date Etch U1 (sun4u), and it boots until it'd like to mount the root-filesystem. Which fails, and if I'm not mistaken, because it hasn't loaded any SCSI-drivers (esp in the case of my U1). So I threw in yaird, which actually loaded scsi_mod, but still no esp, so I had to explicitly set "MODULE esp" in yairds config so that it would actually load esp and could go on booting. But this is probably a bug in mkinitrd/yaird instead of with the kernel-image (though mkinitrd worked ok with 2.6.8-2-sparc64). Anyway it should be fixed (or get a mention in the release notes) before a lot of U1 users are surprised. Otherwise, the 2.6.18 image seems to behave itself so far. cheers, &rw -- -- It is possible to watch Enterprise without buying the pyjamas. -- - Paul Mc Auley pgpRer2z14g9F.pgp Description: PGP signature
