I have two Ubuntu systems, one is 8.10 and the other is 9.04 (upgraded from 8.10).
The 8.10 system has no trouble with the following QLogic FC cards: QLE2460 (4Gb) QLE2562 (8Gb) However, neither of these cards work properly in the 9.04 system. My dmesg output looks similar to that above, in regards to the firmware unavailable warning. I do have the latest linux-firmware package installed. I am able to use the HBAs to access my storage device (tape drive), however, the data is corrupted upon receipt. I am using a large block size of over 2MB. The data transfer completes, but the received data is the same 1KB of data repeated endlessly. I suspect that 1KB is the frame size utilized by the FC HBA. So, it appears the same frame is sent a large number of times, in order to fill out the command. I have swapped drives, cables and cards to the point where the problem looks to be either in Ubuntu 9.04 or my HP workstation. I will probably try downgrading the system to Ubuntu 8.10 in order to verify which is the source of the problem. I am attempting to attach dmesg and lsmod output for the two systems. Notably... 8.10 lsmod output: qla2xxx 192356 0 scsi_transport_fc 49800 1 qla2xxx scsi_mod 155212 12 sbp2,sd_mod,osst,sr_mod,st,sg,qla2xxx,scsi_transport_fc,libata,aic7xxx,scsi_tgt,scsi_transport_spi 9.04 lsmod output: qla2xxx 197988 0 scsi_transport_fc 49544 1 qla2xxx ** Attachment added: "dmesg.09.04.txt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/29165527/dmesg.09.04.txt -- Failure with qla2xxx drivers after ubuntu 9.04 upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/371419 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
