Title:
ISST-KVM:R3-0:quenv:Ubuntu 14.04.03 installation using Netboot fails
on PowerNV machine
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Status in linux-firmware package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in linux-firmware source package in Trusty:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
SRU Justification:
[Impact]
Users of the 3.19 kernel in Trusty will be unable to netboot if using bnx2x drivers that utilize 7.10.51.0 firmware.
[Test Case]
Try netboot installing on a machine that has a bnx2x driver that uses 7.10.51.0 firmware
[Fix]
Adding 7.10.51.0 firmware to the linux-firmware udeb

DEFECT : Distros
Description: I tried to install ubuntu build 14.04.03 on powernv
machine, quenv.isst.aus.stglabs.ibm.com via netboot it is failing
with network configuration error.
> I have tried with 'configure network manually' option , that also
fails.
> Tried ubuntu 14.04 installation as well, it also fails with network
configuration.
> Tried ubuntu 15.10 and it installed successfully.

? Network autoconfiguration failed ?
? Your network is probably not using the DHCP protocol. Alternatively, ?

The network interface is using the bnx2x driver:

0003:0e:00.3 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM57800 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10)
Since Ubuntu 15.10 is working, but 14.04.3 is not, can someone check
to see if there are some driver fixes that need to be backported?
== Comment: #2 - David Heller <hellerda@xxxxxxxxxx> - 2015-06-25 19:18:01 ==
You are probably correct: there may be some patches that need to be backported. But it's not clear whether it's a bnx2x driver issue just yet. I say that because of recent bug 122410 and bug 122009 which found some things lacking in the "linux-firmware" package. Can you please check your logs to see if you have the same error messages seen there, regarding cannot load firmware?
At the point the install fails you should be able to "go back" and
then "execute a shell", and then you can tail your /var/log/syslog and
see if you see those messages, or whatever the issue is you should see
some evidence there. You also should be able to run "lsmod", "modinfo
bnx2x" and "ip link" from the installer shell so please collect that
as well.
If you can get the system booted into 14.04,3, perhaps by installing
over a different NIC, you could check these things and the linux-
firmware package level also. When I logged into your node it was
already booted into 15.10, so I went ahead and collected the info
there. If you could do the same for 14.04,3 we can compare. With
that, and the install log information, we should be able to see what
the problem is. Thx.
