[Oscar-users] Replace bnx2.ko module into initrd.img

2013-03-07 Thread Costel Seitan
All,

I am back with good news but also a new issue.

I successfully installed my first node using OSCAR 6 on CentOS 6.
In order to do this I had to load 2 drivers (tg3 and megaraid_sas) into the 
/tftpboot/initrd.img to deal with the
new hardware.

Now I am trying to install older nodes which use Broadcom Netxtreme II driver 
(bnx2) to deal with the installed NICs.
The installation is failing because of a missing file into the initrd.img: 
bnx2-mips-06-6.2.3.fw.
The module bnx2.ko into the initrd.img generated by OSCAR seems to differ from 
the one installed
onto the oscarimage and the one installed onto the system.
md5sum or modinfo  shows that the one in oscarimage and the one installed onto 
the master node are the same.
I also found the bnx2-mips-06-6.2.3.fw into the system and oscarimg.

To fix the issue above I tried to include the files bnx2.ko and .fw found into 
my oscarimage but I keep receiving
messages like
Module signed with unknown public key
and
Can't insert 'lib/modules/../bnx2.ko': Required key not available.

I tried to remove the signature but I did not succeed.
It looks like I need to place a key into the kernel file.

Does anybody know how to work around this issue?

Thank you in advance,
Best regards,
Costel SEITAN

Hi Costel,

So, do you have two oscar images for your two different kinds of client nodes?
Maybe you can combined them as long as your oscarimage has all the necessary 
kernel modules and /etc/modprobe.conf is properly configured, I think it would 
be fine.

But the initrd should be differently setup to load up the corresponding network 
module and firmware.

 To fix the issue above I tried to include the files bnx2.ko and .fw found 
 into my oscarimage but I keep receiving
 messages like
 “Module signed with unknown public key”
 and
 “Can’t insert ‘lib/modules/../bnx2.ko’: Required key not available.”
I would like to check the followings:
- Any kernel dependencies are there? (i.e., any required kernel module before 
loading bnx2)
- Make sure that bnx2.ko and its firmware are loaded properly on any actually 
running machine


Regards,
