Hi, My server is having one qla2342 card & one qla2300 card which I used to connect to my RAID controller. It works properly with 2.6.12 drivers. Now, when I upgraded my kernel to 2.6.16 it stopped working. I compiled the kernel & qla sources again & again , but no success. Actually, it fails where it tries to fetch the firmware image from card. Exactly, it fails in "qla2x00_request_firmware" ---> request_firmware --> _request_firmware ( in firmware_class.c file) I enabled the debug levels also. The detailed log is as bellow I have added some of my comments too. If you have any clues, why this is happening then let me know about it. Probably, qla2342 series doesn't support such request. Because I could see that in 2.6.12 the firmware image is hard coded. -vinayak The detailed log is as below : Apr 18 16:02:08 localhost kernel: [17180036.200000] QLogic Fibre Channel HBA Driver Apr 18 16:02:08 localhost kernel: [17180036.204000] ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:09.0[A] -> GSI 21 (level, low) -> IRQ 20 Apr 18 16:02:08 localhost kernel: [17180036.204000] qla2xxx 0000:02:09.0: Found an ISP2300, irq 20, iobase 0xe00ee000 Apr 18 16:02:08 localhost kernel: [17180036.204000] qla2xxx 0000:02:09.0: Configuring PCI space...
