This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed products. This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update release. Any pointers to a mkinitrd package that allows RHEL5U1 firmware loading/updating? Stock RHEL5U1 doesn't support it. I believe this is in RHEL5.1. In order for this to work, your module needs to make use of the MODULE_FIRMWARE macro, which it might not yet. What's the module? Jon. The qla2xxx driver from 2.6.19.7. The following MODULE_FIRMWARE instances exist: ./qla_os.c:MODULE_FIRMWARE(FW_FILE_ISP21XX); ./qla_os.c:MODULE_FIRMWARE(FW_FILE_ISP22XX); ./qla_os.c:MODULE_FIRMWARE(FW_FILE_ISP2300); ./qla_os.c:MODULE_FIRMWARE(FW_FILE_ISP2322); ./qla_os.c:MODULE_FIRMWARE(FW_FILE_ISP24XX); And "modinfo -F firmware qla2xxx" shows: ql2400_fw.bin ql2322_fw.bin ql2300_fw.bin ql2200_fw.bin ql2100_fw.bin I can also see mkinitrd copying the firmware to the initrd: `/lib/firmware/ql2300_fw.bin' -> `/tmp/initrd.we3894/lib/firmware/ql2300_fw.bin' But yet when I load that initrd it still doesn't load/find the firmware. And the qla2xxx driver ultimately fails to load. Could this be at all related to bug#378651 ? Created attachment 292189 [details] Fix for uninitialized flag in nash's hotplug.c To respond to my comment#4, FC8's bug#378651 is the issue here. RHEL5U1 also does NOT properly load firmware for the qla2xxx. The attached patch fixes it for RHEL5U1 (as verified with a 2.6.22.16 kernel). I really need RHEL5U2 to include this mkinitrd fix... Fixed in mkinitrd-5.1.19.6-21 . An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA.
