Just to round this off.
The release version of 12.04 installs fine on both of our HP Proliant DL
585 G7 servers. One has the original firmware and one has the latest
firmware.
Good work!

** Description changed:
- When installing ubuntu precise 12.04 beta (up to daily 2012-03-30) on HP
DL385g7 server with additional network card (NX chip set) the following files
are missing:
- phanfw.bin
- nx3fwct.bin
-
- There is no such issue with ubuntu sever oneiric 11.10.

- Thank you
Updating the firmware on the HP Proliant DL 585 G7 server was a fairly
complex operation. The following describes the steps taken by my
colleague to update the firmware:
Download list:
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib2/software1/sc-linux-fw-array/p1997486963/v73626/CP016377.md5
Thanks a lot for the firmware install procedure Bo. I did it however
only with linux as the windows crap didn't work again as it should
(cp014214.exe didn't want to install on my windows 7 netbook).
First after installing the new firmware for NC375C NIC the error message
described above
Linux only procedure:
1. Burn the iso image included in firmware-9.30-0.zip on DVD
2. Boot the server from this DVD
3. Switch to text based console (ctrl+alt+F1)
4. Mount a USB stick with CP015900.scexe and CP016377.scexe with their md5 files
5. Copy these files to /root
6. Execute both .scexe
I was *unsuccessful* trying to upgrade the firmware of NC375T NICs with the
following binaries/rpm packages:
# ---
CP015900.scexe
hp-nx_nic-4.0.579-2.src.rpm
hp-nx_nic-tools-4.0.579-2.x86_64.rpm
kmod-hp-nx_nic-4.0.579-2.x86_64.rpm
# ---
CP015900.scexe seems to work only with 32Bit linux
I hope I will have more luck/time.
I hope *you* will have more luck/time.

Performed a firmware upgrade on the HP Proliant DL 585 G7 server. Both
BIOS and storage controller. That seems to have solved the problem.
Installing the 12.04 beta2 server without problems.
I have attached the output from dmesg on the server after the firmware
upgrade.
I am not entirely clear
And I forgot the attachment...
dmesg from the installer on a HP Proliant DL 585 G7 server with the
latest firmware from HP.
** Attachment added: dmesg output from 12.04 beta2 installer on DL585 with
latest firmware
I have updated the Firmware (BIOS) of HP DL385g7 but it *didn't* solve
the issue. It looks like the critical point is the current firmware
version of NC375T NIC from HP as I still had the error message. I didn't
test the current daily ubuntu server, yet.

Tim - thank you for the first part. Today's daily 12.04 server image
doesn't miss anymore phanfw.bin ... however nx3fwt.bin is still missing.
I have found as follows (please check also the attached file):

There is no such nx3fwct.bin file on ubuntu-server 11.10 too (even there
is no any errror message like above during the installation). It looks
like the network card NC375T doesn't work on ubuntu server 11.10 (I did
only short ping test after configuring an IP address for one of

Well. This NC375T card works on ubuntu-server 10.10 .. my mistake
*sorry*. I did only network restart and it doesn't seem to be enough.
After reboot it works.

Mark - can you attach the dmesg log from both 11.10 and 12.04 so I can
see what firmware the driver has requested. Thats about the only place
that the installer could be learning about nx3fwct.bin.
You are installing on bare metal, right? Does the NIC work (after
reboot) if you ignore the missing
dmesg of ubuntu-server 12.04 first.
dmesg for 11.10 will come in second step as I habe to reinstall.

Mark - the dmesg from 12.04 has this message:

Mark - as far as I can tell nx3fwct.bin does not exist in the kernel nor
is it in linux-firmware. While the driver references several other
firmware files in the source code, only phanfw.bin (which is found in
linux-firmware) is exported as part of the module information, e.g.,
git grep
thanks a lot Tim. I will test the new image as soon it will get
available.
