Subject: live-initramfs: does not load bnx2x firmware Package: live-initramfs Version: 1.156.1+1.157.2-1 Severity: normal
Hi, I'm trying do Debian Lenny netboot for using with FAI. We use some HP Blades BL460c G6 with Broadcom NetXtreme II 10Gb, which need a firmware. I've added "bnx2x" to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules, and installed firmware-bnx2x package. During update-initramfs process, I can see adding of the module and firmware. But when booting, I get: bnx2x 0000:02:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 28 (level, low) -> IRQ 28 bnx2x: part number 412F4E-0-0-0 bnx2x: Loading bnx2x-e1h-5.0.21.0.fw bnx2x 0000:02:00.0: firmware: requesting bnx2x-e1h-5.0.21.0.fw bnx2x: Can't load firmware file bnx2x-e1h-5.0.21.0.fw bnx2x: Error loading firmware bnx2x 0000:02:00.0: PCI INT A disabled bnx2x: probe of 0000:02:00.0 failed with error -2 I've found that the udev script firmware.agent that should enable firmware loading is never launched when modprobing bnx2x. My workaround is to move the script: scripts/init-premount/udev to scripts/init-top/udev. Which makes udev launched before modprobing modules. I'm using lenny, with backports. -- Package-specific info: -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.4 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-19-server (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages live-initramfs depends on: ii busybox 1:1.10.2-2 Tiny utilities for small and embed ii file 4.26-1 Determines file type using "magic" ii initramfs-tools 0.93.2~bpo50+2 tools for generating an initramfs ii sudo 1.6.9p17-2+lenny1 Provide limited super user privile ii udev 0.125-7+lenny3 /dev/ and hotplug management daemo ii user-setup 1.23 Set up initial user and password Versions of packages live-initramfs recommends: pn cryptsetup <none> (no description available) pn eject <none> (no description available) pn uuid-runtime <none> (no description available) ii wget 1.11.4-2+lenny1 retrieves files from the web Versions of packages live-initramfs suggests: pn curlftpfs <none> (no description available) pn genext2fs <none> (no description available) pn httpfs2 <none> (no description available) pn loop-aes-utils <none> (no description available) pn mtd-tools <none> (no description available) pn squashfs-tools <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
