Public bug reported: I just upgraded from Kubuntu 8.04 to 8.10, all updates as of 5 minutes ago installed, but my qlogic 2100 fibre channel card has stopped working following the dist upgrade. Looking in kern.log I see
[CODE]Nov 4 07:58:51 tricho kernel: [ 5.261947] qla2xxx 0000:05:01.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 19 Nov 4 07:58:51 tricho kernel: [ 5.262037] qla2xxx 0000:05:01.0: Found an ISP2312, irq 19, iobase 0xf8880000 Nov 4 07:58:51 tricho kernel: [ 5.262088] qla2xxx 0000:05:01.0: Configuring PCI space...

Nov 4 07:58:51 tricho kernel: [ 5.373358] qla2xxx 0000:05:01.0: Failed to initialize adapter[/CODE] Package linux-firmware is installed, and there does appear to be a matching firmware binary supplied by that package at /lib/firmware/ql2300_fw.bin Doing an 'rmmod qla2xxx' followed by an 'insmod qla2xxx' results in the driver loading just fine and the devices attached via the card are accessible, however when it loads at boot time it cannot locate firmware. Kernel.org has a bugzilla entry for this. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11645 Can we ensure this is backported to Intrepid, likely particularly problematic for the server guys.
