[Bug 842560] Re: bnx2 firmware missing

[matteo]

Hi,

We experienced this issue on Dell PowerEdge 2950 servers. We have
addressed it by modifying the /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-
bottom/udev file as described in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udev/+bug/818177 .

In our case, at the end of the installation of Ubuntu 11.10, before rebooting, we have:
1. switched on console 2, 
2. chroot into terget/, 
3. edited the udev file adding:

. /scripts/functions
wait_for_udev

before the:

# Stop udevd

command, 
4. rebuilt the initrd image with: 

update-initramfs -u

5. finished the installation rebooting the system.

  Installing the latest Beta 1 of Ubuntu 11.10 (downloaded iso on
  09-06-2011) fails after the first reboot with this error:

  bnx2: Can't load firmware file "bnx2/bnx2-mips-06-6.2.1.fw"
  udevd[107]: '/sbin/modprobe -bv pci:v000014E4d0000164Csv00001028sd000001B2bc02sc00i00' [172] terminated by signal 9 (Killed)

  machine.

  you. (Attachments)
