Package: debian-installer Version: daily 2010-03-06 Severity: normal Hi,
when trying to install Debian from today's squeeze daily image on a hp ProLiant DL385G6, there are multiple images with the network interfaces, which are bnx2. It needs bnx2-mips-09-5.0.0.j3.fw and bnx2-rv2p-09.5.0.0.j3.fw, and I had to bring them to the system in question on an USB stick. - bnx2-mips-09-5.0.0.j3.fw files is is only found if in a bnx2/ subdirectory. - If found, it is placed into /lib/firmware - the driver expects it in /lib/firmware/bnx2 though - /lib/firmware/bnx2 is deleted during the "search for firmware" process - I therefore had to resort to while sleep 1; do mv /lib/firmware/bnx2-mips-09-5.0.0.j3.fw /lib/firmware/bnx; done to get any further - bnx2-rv2p-09.5.0.0.j3.fw is not found at all (not in / and not bnx2/) - Copying the file to /lib/firmware/bnx2 manually worked Afterwards, the installer thought that DHCP configuration failed although there was an IP on the first interface afterwards. Repeat of the DHCP configuration made the installer notice that it was successful. I suspect that the DHCP process times out just in time to be successful without the installer noticing because the box in questions has 4 interfaces.
