This is the patch for trusty debian-installer to pick up this new xenial hwe kernel. It's been tested by the customer with the SF 8000 series NICs on amd64 bare metal (back when using test packages from their private PPA), so the netboot install works on that NIC model. I built it on PPA for the supported architectures on trusty (amd64/i386, arm64/armhf, ppc64el/powerpc) [1], and used the built netboot images for testing. I tested for no regressions / without that NIC adapter, in the following platforms, plain and LVM partitioning, per discussion with folks from our server iso automated testing and server/arm teams. - amd64 bare-metal & kvm guest - arm64 qemu guest (see [2]) - ppc64el qemu guest (see [3]) On testing, the installer boots with the new kernel, installs it to the system, and the installed system boots correctly with it.

Hello Mauricio, or anyone else affected, Accepted debian-installer into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian- installer/20101020ubuntu318.44 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository. Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from verification-needed-trusty to verification-done-trusty. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-trusty. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .

[Group.of.nepali.translators] [Bug 1783152] Re: Enable basic support for Solarflare 8000 series NIC
This bug was fixed in the package debian-installer - 20101020ubuntu318.44 --- debian-installer (20101020ubuntu318.44) trusty; urgency=medium * Move lts-xenial kernels to 4.4.0-134 (LP: #1783152) -- Mauricio Faria de Oliveira Thu, 23 Aug 2018 18:38:36 -0300 ** Changed in: debian-installer (Ubuntu Trusty) Status: Fix Committed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of नेपाली भाषा समायोजकहरुको समूह, which is subscribed to Xenial.

[Test Case] * Try to probe/netboot/use a Solarflare 8000 series NIC. * It does not probe on the original kernel, but it does probe/netboot/install/stress (i.e., basic fuctionality works) on the patched kernel. [Regression Potential] * Users with Solarflare 8000 series NIC might hit problems on device probe or due to a new network interface coming up, now that the NIC comes up. * More specific features of the NIC or advanced tuning/setup might not work as expected or run into issues. [Other Info] * There are known error messages on device probe. * These are benign/non-fatal and will be addressed on another SRU cycle. --- The Trusty HWE kernel from Xenial lacks the PCI ID for the Solarflare 8000 series NIC. This prevents network installs on servers which only have that NIC. In order to get NIC detected, link up, and successful network install, only 2 commits are required: dd248f1bc65b sfc: Add PCI ID for Solarflare 8000 series 10/40G NIC 93171b14a545 sfc: make TSO version a per-queue parameter This patchset is undergoing testing, and I will post the patches to the kernel-team mailing list. --- There are some kernel messages produced possibly due to additional commits missing, but are benign/non-fatal and allows the NIC probing and basic functionality to work. [2.803941] sfc :37:00.0 (unnamed net_device) (uninitialized): Solarflare NIC detected [2.806336] sfc :37:00.0 (unnamed net_device) (uninitialized): Part Number : SFN8042 [2.807366] sfc :37:00.0 (unnamed net_device) (uninitialized): MC command 0x4a inlen 8 failed rc=-2 (raw=2) arg=0 [2.808052] sfc :37:00.0 (unnamed net_device) (uninitialized): no PTP support [2.808488] sfc :37:00.0 (unnamed net_device) (uninitialized): MC command 0x8f inlen 0 failed rc=-1 (raw=1) arg=0 [2.808605] sfc :37:00.0 (unnamed net_device) (uninitialized): failed to allocate PIO buffers (-1) ... [4.037694] sfc :37:00.0 p2p1: link up at 4Mbps full-duplex (MTU 1500) The PTP (precision time protocol / ieee 1588) support is a feature to synchronize clocks over a computer network with high precision, and is not required for basic functionality nor for this particular user. The failure to allocate PIO buffers is non-fatal, see sfc/ef10.c/efx_ef10_dimension_resources() comments. The additional patches to resolve the error messages will be worked on another SRU cycle.
