Public bug reported:
Ubuntu Release: Jaunty 9.04
I installed Jaunty onto a HP bl25p blade, with a 60GB root disk on an
EVA8000 connected via two Qlogic qla2312 cards (we have two paths to the
disk). The live environment can see the disk, and appeared to install
the os fine, however the system will not boot. I've tried upgrading
from within the rescue environment, but to no avail. After grub I see:
[ 62.450036] qla2xxx 0000:06:01.0: Firmware image unavailable.
[ 62.450115] qla2xxx 0000:06:01.0: Firmware images can be retrieved from:
ftp://ftp.qlogic.com/outgoing/linux/firmware/.
Shortly after this I get dropped into initramfs.
There seem to be a couple of reasons why this might be happening.
Firstly the /lib/firmware directory is not included in the initramfs
generated by "updaet-initramfs -c -k all". This can be bodged by
copying the firmware in /lib/firmware into /lib/firmware/<KERNELVER> and
running update-initramfs again.
A second problem seems to be that the hotplug event (generated when the
qla2xxx driver is loaded and calls request_firmware) is never handled.
Proof of this is that I can simulate the event handler manually in
initramfs as follows:
echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/<DEV>/loading
cat qla2300_fw.bin > /sys/class/firmware/<DEV>/data
echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/<DEV>/loading
Then the root disk appears as /dev/sda1.
