Hi Tim,

It seems that netboot initrd image doesn't contain this firmware, which is causing some issues. Can you also bump bnx2x firmware to version 19 on initrd?

Dang, there are 2 files with almost the same name, bnx2x-e1-7.8.19.0.fw and bnx2x-e2-7.8.19.0.fw. Guess which one I used.

The real fix is to add firmware to the NIC udeb. Leaving the kernel alone for now.

This bug was fixed in the package linux-firmware - 1.138

The new image has the fix for this bug, which contains the firmware ./firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e2-7.8.19.0.fw.

Check: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/daily/20141022.2/ and http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/utopic/main/installer-ppc64el/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/ppc64el/

Thanks for finding this bug.

Hello bugproxy, or anyone else affected,

Accepted linux-firmware into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/1.127.10 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

The firmware is present in vivid, so marking that as fixed. We are still awaiting verification for trusty.

Confirmed that new trusty d-i builds contain the expected firmware:
