Hi, I'm running Debian Sarge, with linux-image-2.6.16-2-686-smp kernel from www.backports.org. I'm trying to get a QLogic 2300 series fibre channel adapter working. If I load the qla2xxx module after booting, it loads fine:
qla2xxx 0000:06:01.0: Found an ISP2300, irq 185, iobase 0xf88ba000 qla2xxx 0000:06:01.0: Configuring PCI space... qla2xxx 0000:06:01.0: Configure NVRAM parameters... qla2xxx 0000:06:01.0: Verifying loaded RISC code... qla2xxx 0000:06:01.0: Waiting for LIP to complete... qla2xxx 0000:06:01.0: LOOP UP detected (1 Gbps). qla2xxx 0000:06:01.0: Topology - (F_Port), Host Loop address 0xffff But if I put qla2xxx in /etc/modules and reboot, it fails to load the firmware: qla2xxx 0000:06:01.0: Found an ISP2300, irq 185, iobase 0xf8802000 qla2xxx 0000:06:01.0: Configuring PCI space... qla2xxx 0000:06:01.0: Configure NVRAM parameters... qla2xxx 0000:06:01.0: Verifying loaded RISC code... qla2xxx 0000:06:01.0: Firmware image unavailable. qla2xxx 0000:06:01.0: Failed to initialize adapter The correct firmware is in /lib/firmware: # ls -l /lib/firmware/ total 128 -rw-r--r-- 2 root root 123170 Oct 5 08:43 ql2300_fw.bin How come it does not load the firmware in the boot process, but has no problems loading it if I use modprobe to load qla2xxx after booting? Is there anything I can do to make the firmware loadable at boot-time? Bye, -- Anders. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
