Hi. I just did a do-release-upgrade from Ubuntu Server 12.04 to 14.04 just as Jaap did. I got the same issue. The network card will not start. Its on a Dell PowerEdge 2950 with a static address on eth0 only (dual nics).
RTNETLINK answers: no such process [61709.025401] bnx2: can't load firmware file bnx2/bnx2-mips-06-6.2.3.fw no such file or directory Is there a fix I can try? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/842560 Title: bnx2 firmware missing Status in OEM Priority Project: Fix Released Status in OEM Priority Project oneiric series: Fix Released Status in OEM Priority Project precise series: Fix Released Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in udev package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in linux source package in Oneiric: Invalid Status in udev source package in Oneiric: Fix Released Status in linux source package in Precise: Fix Released Status in udev source package in Precise: Fix Released Bug description: SRU justification: udev in Ubuntu 11.10 has regressed support for certain hardware configurations, resulting in firmware failing to be loaded at boot time due to a race condition when shutting down udev in the initramfs. This causes network interfaces to fail to come up in a usable state on systems previously supported, and also causes long boot-time delays on these same systems. Regression potential: The nature of the fix introduces the possibility that some systems that are not affected by this bug will have their boot slowed down as a result of udev being forced to process more events before it's able to exit. However, since only events with a timeout requirement will actually be dispatched for processing, the impact here should be minimal. Test case: 1. boot oneiric on a system such as a Dell PowerEdge 2950 which has two NICs that use the bnx2 driver and require the bnx2-mips-06-6.2.1.fw firmware 2. observe that the boot has a 60-second delay and that there is an error in dmesg that the firmware fails to load for one of the NICs 3. install the udev package from oneiric-proposed 4. reboot 6 times to confirm that the system now boots up with no delay and that there is no error in dmesg even after multiple reboots Installing the latest Beta 1 of Ubuntu 11.10 (downloaded iso on 09-06-2011) fails after the first reboot with this error: bnx2: Can't load firmware file "bnx2/bnx2-mips-06-6.2.1.fw" udevd[107]: '/sbin/modprobe -bv pci:v000014E4d0000164Csv00001028sd000001B2bc02sc00i00' [172] terminated by signal 9 (Killed) Earlier stable versions of Ubuntu Server (11.04) work fine on this machine. For further investigations i collected some additional information for you. (Attachments) Are there any other needed information i can supply?
