[Devil-Linux-discuss] firmware and custom-cd with Devil-Linux 1.4RC1

[Udo L. <udo...@al...>]

Hello,
i try to use the 1.4RC1 as an backup-server (bacula). The qla2xxx-module 
is on the cd, but unfortunately the required firmware not. Is it 
possible to include the firmware from qlogic? 
ftp://ftp.qlogic.com/outgoing/linux/firmware/

After that, i try to make a custom-cd. But the script fail:
Warning: creating filesystem that does not conform to ISO-9660.
genisoimage: Directories too deep for 
'./tmp17060.z/lib/modules/2.6.29.4/kernel/fs/gfs2/locking/dlm' (7) max is 6.

After add a "-D" to mkisofs i got an iso-image (of course not 
iso9660-conform).

During the boot the qla-driver find not the firmware:
qla2xxx 0000:03:02.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 25 (level, low) -> IRQ 25
qla2xxx 0000:03:02.0: Found an ISP2300, irq 25, iobase 0xf828a000

qla2xxx 0000:03:02.0: Failed to initialize adapter
qla2xxx 0000:03:02.0: PCI INT A disabled

But with "rmmod qla2xxx; modprobe qla2xxx" all works fine... curious.


Best regards
