RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
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
Additional info:
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
NetXtreme BCM5719 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe
vendor/device id : 14e4:1657
You can see the driver is supported for above nic in below link.
http://ipxe.org/appnote/hardware_drivers
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.
