[Xen-users] xen dom0 kernel in redhat4.4 with qla2xxx firmware

[Roland Touchais <Roland.Touchais@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello, 

I have a fait on load firmware under RedHat 4.4.

With just RedHat standard kernel, firmware seem to be loader for
qla2300 module. And all work fine.


with Mandriva 2007 (other OS i try before, but with domU not runable)
I just add "qla*.bin" downloaded from
ftp://ftp.qlogic.com/outgoing/linux/firmware/ in "/lib/firmware" and i
get all work fine under Standard and Xen:dom0 kernels.


But when i use XEN RPMs for redhat 4. 4(downloaded from XEN web site)
under redhat 4.4 
kernel-xen-2.6.16.29-3.0.3.0 
xen-3.0.3.0-1
kernel-xenU-2.6.9-42.0.2.EL.xs148

grub conf (sda1 for partition /boot)
title Xen
    root (hd0,1)
    kernel /xen.gz dom0_mem=500000 console=vga
    module /vmlinuz-2.6-xen root=LABEL=/1 ro console=tty0
    module /initrd-2.6-xen.img

Il i make a DomU in a file; i can use it so Xen is OK.

But for QLA hardware, I can not acces to SANE disk.
I get the same result with and without firmware in  /lib/firmware :

dmesg | grep -i qla :
qla2xxx 0000:06:01.0: Found an ISP2312, irq 18, iobase 0xe0024000

qla2xxx 0000:06:01.1: Firmware image unavailable.
qla2xxx 0000:06:01.1: Failed to initialize adapter

in /sys/classe/firmware i have only "timeout"

So it seem that firware in /lib/firmware are not loaded or not
recognized... 

Have you an idea to solve or debug this problem (usefull because i
need qla for acces SANE disk for virtuals Xen DomU.
