We encountered a problem with the Broadcom NetXtreme II network interfaces. The LiveDVD 11.0 and the latest minimal install CD didn't recognized the interface. During the boot process it fails while loading the firmware ! Code: bnx2 : Broadcom NetXtreme II Gigabit Ethernet Driver bnx2 v2.1.6 bnx2 : can't load firmware file "bnx2/bnx2-mips-09.6.2.1a.fw" In /lib/firmware/bnx2, I've found bnx2-mips-09.6.2.1.fw but not bnx2-mips-09.6.2.1a.fw With the LiveCD 10.0, no problem, the network cards are detected successfully (with an old firmware). Reproducible: Always
For information, there is no problem with the liveDVD 11.2
Fixed in latest 11.2 livedvd media. likewhoa
Was this problem solved on the install-minimal distributions? I just got the same problem with install-minimal-x86-20110809.iso ( md5sum 3c937abd69072134dc30f60ab66a5617 ) and it has the firmware file on /lib/firmware/bnx2/: livecd ~ # ls -l /lib/firmware/bnx2 total 236 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 92792 Aug 9 14:54 bnx2-mips-06-6.2.1.fw -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 103868 Aug 9 14:54 bnx2-mips-09-6.2.1a.fw -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5696 Aug 9 14:54 bnx2-rv2p-06-6.0.15.fw -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6104 Aug 9 14:54 bnx2-rv2p-09-6.0.17.fw -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6616 Aug 9 14:54 bnx2-rv2p-09ax-6.0.17.fw However, trying to boot it on a DELL R210 with the broadcomm network interfaces results on the same situation described in this bug, as can (almost) be seen on the (cr@ppy) picture attached. Can anyone else confirm this? Thanks in advance.
Created attachment 283093 [details] Picture showing "Can't load firmware" error. Picture showing "Can't load firmware" error on install-minimal-x86-20110809.iso
I confirm that the problem is not solved with the latest minimal install cd (install-amd64-minimal-20110811.iso). bnx2 : Broadcom NetXtreme II Gigabit Ethernet Driver bnx2 v2.1.6 bnx2 : can't load firmware file "bnx2/bnx2-mips-09.6.2.1a.fw" ls -l /lib/firmware/bnx2/bnx2-mips-09.6.2.1a.fw -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 103868 Aug 11 14:09 bnx2-mips-09-6.2.1a.fw Tested on Dell R310.
Reopening.
Same problem on an HP DL380 G7 using install-amd64-minimal-20110811.iso.
I have exactly the same problem, on exactly the same server.
Same problem with Dell R210 with install-amd64-minimal-20110908.iso. Regards Rafael
Same issue on ProLiant BL460c G1. Regards, Maarten
I had the same issue on a Dell R310. On recent Live CD the firmware is present, but still gave the same error in dmesg. Solution for me was to simply rmmod bnx2 and then modprobe bnx2 to load it again and then it picked up the firmware without issue. I guess maybe the firmware hasn't unpacked at the point the module is loaded.
I can confirm this bug as still active in the latest minimal install iso as of today, thanks for the quick fix Ian.
I can confirm this problem still remains on latest minimal cd's when booting new HP Proliant DL360 G7 machines

I wonder how you did this. I can load the module just like you by using rmmod and modprobe after booting but further installation of the machine is impossible. Using mkfs.ext4 results in lib errors, links command to fetch stages results in Segmentation errors. I bought three new servers and they all have this problem so it's not just a hardware issue? I need to have a solution quickly
(In reply to comment #15) > I bought three new servers and they all have this problem so it's not just a > hardware issue? I need to have a solution quickly What I did was to use the SystemRescueCD which is based on Gentoo but very handily includes additional tools like rsync: http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page I used the script on the iso to create a bootable usb mass storage device (since my DL 380's didn't come with an optical drive). Once booted I just followed the usual installation handbook.

I need to have a solution quickly Please paste here the output of ls -la /lib* and ls -la /mnt/livecd/lib* on the install CD. If you have /lib pointing to /mnt/livecd/lib and /mnt/livecd/lib is not a symlink to lib64, please let me know the exact version of the install CD you're using.

You stated on a previous comment that the binaries "die". What do you mean and please provide examples of "broken" binaries.

What do you mean and > please provide examples of "broken" binaries. Perhaps I expressed myself incorrectly. When I follow the instructions from Ian to do rmmod bnx2 and then modprobe bnx2. Network becomes available then but the system unstable. Example: I added partitions to /dev/sda and when trying to format them to ext4 I received input/output errors. I could not even do reboot or halt command. This happened on all three servers. Nevertheles, not sure why this is relevant to the issue at hand. The problem remains that dmesg outputs failures loading bnx2 firmware on boot. My guess is that if this works properly (I never had issues with this) the rest will work fine as well
Ok I retried Ian's solution to do rmmod and modprobe and now it works. I have no idea why all three servers failed the first time in doing this
Encountered the problem also with install-amd64-minimal-20111006.iso Looks like the resolution is described at http://www.sysresccd.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=9498&sid=489adebecede7884f3cd8ae0e97ab030#p9498
The latest minimal install CD has an empty /lib/firmware. There's a corrupt /lib/firmware.tar.bz2 sitting there though. The bnx2s in the server are useless without it so it looks like I'll be using SystemRescueCD to install.

There's currently a bug in the catalyst version running on the official build box (we need to do a release with the fix) and I also believe that for the bnx2 to work we need to include the linux-firmware package in the official CD specs. I've already added it to the admin-cd, but I need to fix the kernel specs for it. I hope to get this fixed on this week CDs.
this is still an issue with latest minimal isos. changing status to major.
It may be the same problem as bug 411899. My bnx adapters failed on my poweredge 2950s when I updated to hardened-3.7.5-r1
It looks like an upstream problem, part of the firmware is not included, emerge linux-firmware seems to fix it from what I hear.
*** Bug 375339 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I think this is fixed at the same time as bug #455924, can anyone with bnx2 hardware confirm?
looks like it's all there now to me. I think you are right. All, please use install-x86-minimal-20130528.iso or newer and this should be fixed. (LiveDVD will be fixed in the next release as well but those are only 2x a year).
