[Bug 295287] Re: qla2xxx driver cannot load firmware at boot
Hi sdedgar, This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/karmic . If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications-Accessories-Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report. apport-collect -p linux 295287 Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream- testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results. Thanks in advance. [This is an automated message.

[Bug 295287] Re: qla2xxx driver cannot load firmware at boot
I actually upgraded to 9.04 yesterday, so now on kernel 2.6.28-11, bug still exists and is now causing significant delays to bootup, several minutes worth. The system does boot eventually however without any actions on my part. 8.10 did not appear to suffer these delays, certainly not to the same extent. I'm afraid I'm not very familiar with the initramfs system, so I'm not really sure what is required when that other bug stated creating your own file in /etc/initramfs-tools/hooks that copies /lib/udev/firmware.sh and the /lib/firmware/ql2400_fw.bin file into the initramfs I've had a look at the initramfs-tools man page, but it isn't clear to me whether the included functions are appropriate for this, as these files don't appear to me to be modules, and copy_exec doesn't seem appropriate either. This being the case, where should I be copying the files to?

[Bug 295287] Re: qla2xxx driver cannot load firmware at boot
Steven, The take-away here is that the firmware files you need aren't available at boot time, that is, that they don't appear to be in the initrd file. This much you can see by saying mkdir foo; cd foo; zcat /boot/initrd.img-$(uname -r) | cpio -id and then looking for the firmware file in foo/lib/firmware. I have limited experience with initrfamfs tools, so prudence demands I defer to someone with more experience. I don't want to recommend a procedure that will render your server unbootable :) Kurt -- qla2xxx driver cannot load firmware at boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/295287 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 295287] Re: qla2xxx driver cannot load firmware at boot
This is still an issue or me, but I only use the qla2xxx card to connect to an LT0 drive. As long as I remember to rmmod/modprobe for qla2xxx before using it I can work around it. I'm on Ubuntu 8.10 with latest kernel 2.6.27-14-generic. -- qla2xxx driver cannot load firmware at boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/295287 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This bug has been fixed in the upstream kernel sources.
