After upgrading to linux-image-2.6.30-alpha-generic I get the following trace in the kernel log. The qlogic firmware package is installed, as initramfs complained about missing bin files.
The driver loads and the system works as expected, all disks are reported: [ 4.416013] qla1280 0000:00:09.0: firmware: requesting qlogic/1040.bin [ 4.416013] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 4.416013] WARNING: at /build/buildd-linux-2.6_2.6.30-5-alpha-u828kA/linux-2 .6-2.6.30/debian/build/source_alpha_none/kernel/softirq.c:141 _local_bh_enable_i p+0x4c/0xa4() [ 4.416013] Modules linked in: tulip(+) bitrev qla1280(+) scsi_mod usbcore(+) de2104x crc32 [ 4.416013] fffffc000f0479f8 0000000000000005 fffffc000103bef0 fffffc000e86d7 c0 [ 4.416013] 0000000000000000 fffffc000c652c00 fffffc000e86d7c0 fffffff f00000010 [ 4.416013] fffffc00011eb2d4 0000000000000001 fffffc00011ff958 fffffc0 00c652c00 [ 4.416013] fffffc000c652c18 fffffc000e86d7c0 fffffc000114baec fffffc0 00c76e030 [ 4.416013] 0000000000000007 fffffc000e86d7c0 fffffc000c76e000 fffffc0 00e8113c0 [ 4.416013] fffffc00013c66e8 fffffc00012bfdab 0000000000000001 0000000 000000000 [ 4.416013] Trace: [ 4.416013] [<fffffc000103bef0>] _local_bh_enable_ip+0x4c/0xa4 [ 4.416013] [<fffffc00011eb2d4>] sk_filter+0xcc/0x104 [ 4.416013] [<fffffc00011ff958>] netlink_broadcast+0x1e0/0x3bc [ 4.416013] [<fffffc000114baec>] kobject_uevent_env+0x384/0x4a0 [ 4.416013] [<fffffc00011b4ad0>] _request_firmware+0x468/0x57c [ 4.416013] [<fffffc000116485c>] local_pci_probe+0x24/0x38 [ 4.416013] [<fffffc0001164b4c>] pci_device_probe+0x64/0xa0 [ 4.416013] [<fffffc00011af048>] driver_probe_device+0xcc/0x1e0 [ 4.416013] [<fffffc00011af1e4>] __driver_attach+0x88/0xd4 [ 4.416013] [<fffffc00011ae5dc>] bus_for_each_dev+0x68/0xd0 [ 4.416013] [<fffffc00011af15c>] __driver_attach+0x0/0xd4 [ 4.416013] [<fffffc00011aee00>] driver_attach+0x2c/0x40 [ 4.416013] [<fffffc00011adb28>] bus_add_driver+0xd8/0x304 [ 4.416013] [<fffffc00011af69c>] driver_register+0x108/0x1d4 [ 4.416013] [<fffffc000116501c>] __pci_register_driver+0x5c/0x120 [ 4.416013] [<fffffc00010100bc>] do_one_initcall+0x74/0x1cc [ 4.416013] [<fffffc000105fb68>] SyS_init_module+0xf0/0x2c0 [ 4.416013] [<fffffc000105fb50>] SyS_init_module+0xd8/0x2c0 [ 4.416013] [<fffffc0001010de4>] entSys+0xa4/0xc0 [ 4.416013] [ 4.416013] ---[ end trace b7134e8cc61d5fa9 ]--- Anybody has seen this, too? Just one question: Is the firmware always needed or can I uninstall the qlogic-firmware package again? Does the controller has an eprom or does it only works with driver-provided firmware? As the firmware does not seem to be loaded correctly, is it really needed? I do not want to try this out, as I have no physical access to the machine currently.
