Title:
qla2xxx driver cannot load firmware at boot
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Status in Debian:
New
Bug description:
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: [ 5.373358] 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.
Thanks
