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 Milan Broz 2010-05-25 14:04:42 UTC 
Description of problem:

This PCI-X card seems not to load properly in RHEL6

0a:01.0 Fibre Channel: QLogic Corp. ISP2312-based 2Gb Fibre Channel to PCI-X HBA (rev 02)
0a:01.0 0c04: 1077:2312 (rev 02)

qla2xxx 0000:0a:01.0: PCI INT A disabled

(Similar PCIe card works on the same system, works on RHEL5 with no problem)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
# rpm -q kernel kernel-firmware
kernel-2.6.32-28.el6.i686
kernel-firmware-2.6.32-28.el6.noarch

Expected results:
I want to see my FC storage in RHEL6 again:-)

Which tree/variant is this?  What do you get from "rpm -qa | grep ql | grep firmware"?
Comment 4 Milan Broz 2010-05-25 17:02:37 UTC 
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.
Comment 6 Bill Nottingham 2010-05-25 19:45:14 UTC 
Given that it works with the firmware package installed, I'm closing this as WORKSFORME.
Comment 7 Bill Nottingham 2010-05-25 19:58:22 UTC 
Milan - how did you install? Can you attach your anaconda log files?
