Description Edu Alcaniz 2018-10-11 09:04:54 UTC

Description of problem:
The RPMs of ipxe images doesn't have the new NICs
It is necessary to upgrade it to include them and the customers can deploy new compute nodes. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ipxe-bootimgs-20170123-1.git4e85b27.el7_4.1.noarch
ipxe-roms-qemu-20170123-1.git4e85b27.el7_4.1.noarch

How reproducible:
NIC card that it is not include

# ethtool -i eno7
driver: tg3
version: 3.137
firmware-version: 5719-v1.43 NCSI v1.2.12.0
expansion-rom-version:
bus-info: 0000:af:00.2
supports-statistics: yes
supports-test: yes
supports-eeprom-access: yes
supports-register-dump: yes
supports-priv-flags: no

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual results:
Customers are using latest ipxe.efi from http://boot.ipxe.org/ipxe.efi. Then we were able to deploy the compute node

Expected results:
Update the ipxe-bootimgs-20170123-1.git4e85b27.el7_4.1.noarch
ipxe-roms-qemu-20170123-1.git4e85b27.el7_4.1.noarch
with the new NICs cards

ipxe is delivered by RHEL.  OpenStack does not control what is included.  Moving this to RHEL

Comment 2 Neil Horman 2018-10-15 13:49:34 UTC

tg3?  We've had support for tg3 for over a decade.  This isn't about missing a driver.  My guess is the system vendor changed the device id on the NIC to be vendor specific, updated the pci id file, but didn't send a patch to ipxe.org.  Can you provide:

1) The pci device and vendor id of the NIC in question
2) The console log of ipxe as it boots up

Comment 3 Edu Alcaniz 2018-10-17 17:18:26 UTC

NetXtreme BCM5719 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe
vendor/device id : 14e4:1657

You can see the driver is supported for above nic  in below link.

Can we get an update about this BZ please

Can we get an update about this BZ please

Comment 7 Neil Horman 2018-10-29 11:55:13 UTC

Within our version of the ipxe package we have this entry:

PCI_ROM(0x14e4, 0x1657, "14e4-1657", "14e4-1657", 0)

so we obviously match on that vendor and device tuple.  Please provide me a more accurate description of what exactly is going on here, as I requested.  If you just want to stand on the assertion that you need the latest version of ipxe instead, I already have a scheduled update bug open for that and we can close/dup this one.

Neil what is the other dup of this one? Let me check and I think I can answer to you. The case attached i mine ;)

Thanks!
