Which tree/variant is this? What do you get from "rpm -qa | grep ql | grep firmware"?
Bah, no Qlogic firmware rpms at all (it was Server tree but installed manually so it was my mistake fw rpm is missing). Of course it works afer I installed it. (ql23xx-firmware.noarch here). Anyway, why PCIe version works from flash (even without rpms) and PCI-X not?

It appears that the PCIe version adapter has a flash image available on the adapter but the PCI-X version of the adapter does not. Also, rhel5 has the firmware blob built into the driver.
Given that it works with the firmware package installed, I'm closing this as WORKSFORME.
Milan - how did you install? Can you attach your anaconda log files?
