[pve-devel] pve-kernel-2.6.32 :(squeeze-proxmox2): broadcom bnx2 firmware load error

[Alexandre DERUMIER]

I have the same md5sum as you.

i had also check debian wheezy package and fedora package, firmware md5sum are same.


in the redhat bugzilla report, I found this :


"
This issue is still persistent in kernel version: 2.6.32-131.2.1.el6

I have the updated kernel-firmware package installed also.

The only way i've found to get around the issue is compiling bnx2 from
Broadcom's source rpm.


With the most recent kernel update the bnx2x_compat.h has incompatible
definitions with the broadcom source.  We had to form a patch to compile the
drivers properly to get up and running.

I've tried this with and without port bonding with the same result.

The errors thrown during bootup are:
bnx2: Can't load firmware file "bnx2/bnx2-mips-06-6.2.1.fw"
bnx2 0000:05:00.0 : PCI INT A disabled
bnx2 probe of 0000:09:00.0 failed with error -2
bnx2 0000:09:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16
bnx2 0000:09:00.0: firmware: requesting bnx2/bnx2-mips-06-6.2.1.fw

Once the drivers are conpiled from source things work properly.
"


I'll try to build the bnx2 driver from source ...

Strange. Maybe the firmware blob is damaged somehow (try to get the original file form the verndor site): 

I have: 

md5sum /lib/firmware/bnx2/bnx2-mips-06-6.2.1.fw 
9c7e3239decffc8d1a3cc515a6ccc4e8 /lib/firmware/bnx2/bnx2-mips-06-6.2.1.fw 

Is that the same file distributed by the vendor? 

> I'll try to investigated a little more 

Thanks
