Does it mean that if we have the above firmware on our machines, that the kernel modules are not there because of error?
The firmware files are expected to be installed in /lib/firmware by the
modules. Note that that's "/lib/firmware" regardless of 32- or 64-bit
systems.
The QLogic firmware files (the qla2xxx driver is for QLogic fiberchannel
HBAs) are installed by making sure you install the appropriate RPMs:
[root@prophead ~]# rpm -qf /lib/firmware/ql2300_fw.bin
ql23xx-firmware-3.03.27-1.fc10.noarch
So "yum install ql*-firmware*" should get you all of them. You're
running a lot of fiberchannel stuff? Wow! I do, but only on big,
honking (hundreds of TB) storage farms using EMC arrays.
As for the Adaptec file (aic94xx), I don't know. I'm sure there's an
RPM for that as well. I haven't run an Adaptec card that needed
firmware in a long time.
