Okay, I'm still unable to build a correct initrd to include the QLogic
2300 FC card I have in a couple of machines. I've tried several
methods (from scripts to cracking open the existing initrd) and
nothing seems to work. The firmware IS on the system (via an RPM) and
the qla2xxx module gets loaded, but I cannot get it to load on boot.
initrd complains about the firmware not being available.
Surely others out there have these cards in use still and keep there
systems up to date, so what am I doing wrong? Can someone walk me
through this. I have one system stuck at FC6 because the newer kernel
don't include the firmware and I can't upgrade until I can get this
resolved.
Are you sure the firmware is in /lib/firmware? Check that directory
and verify you have "ql2300_fw.bin" or "ql2322_fw.bin" there. Don't
necessarily rely on the fact you have the RPM installed...something
may have wiped the files.
Yes it's definitely there. I just don't understand why a card so common
would have the firmware dropped from initrd like this. It's really
frustrating for those of us with several systems with those FC cards to
suddenly be stuck at FC6 and can go no further.
