Description of problem: Stock fedora kernels fail to load bnx2x firmware and fail driver open. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-3.2.1-3.fc16.x86_64 kernel-3.2.2-1.fc16.x86_64 How reproducible: Easy for me. Just try to boot with either of these kernels. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora 16 on an HP C class blade with bnx2x. 2. Boot any 3.2 kernel. 3. Error messages appear on console and network does not come up. Actual results: Error message. No networking. Expected results: Networking functioning properly. Additional info: If someone can give me a pointer to the firmware, it would be a great help. I can test and fix or workaround.
Did the 3.1.x F16 kernels work? What exactly are the error messages? There was a firmware update added to the linux-firmware project in October. Depending on things, we might need to update that package.
Yes, all 3.1.X kernels work fine. Here is the error message: bnx2x: [bnx2x_init_firmware:10574(em1)]Can't load firmware file nbx2x/bnx2x-e1h-7.0.29.0.fw bnx2x: [bnx2x_func_hw_init:5382(em1)]Error loading firmware bnx2x: [bnx2x_nic_load:1823(em1)HW init failed, aborting
My system only has: bnx2x-e1h-7.0.20.0.fw bnx2x-e1h-7.0.23.0.fw

I'll reassign this to that component.
Stephen could you see if this build works for you: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3766412
I've updated f16 and started a new build. It should resolve this issue. I'll submit an update in bodhi once the build completes.
