Everything is working as expected when boot in 5.15.15 - on the same system. udev 250.3-2
Hello, I see that driver is trying to load FW files (from /lib/firmware/bnx2x/) in that kernel, looks like FW files are missing (probably they are present on the file system but missing from new kernel initrd image) which causes driver to fail. dracut --install-optional /usr/lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e2-7.13.15.0.fw dracut --install-optional /usr/lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e2-7.13.21.0.fw Above commands might help in making FW files as a part of initrd. Thanks, Manish
(In reply to Iv At from comment #1) > Everything is working as expected when boot in 5.15.15 - on the same system. > > udev 250.3-2 Okay, was the working kernel having FW files part of it's initrd/initramfs ? If so, I would have expected them to be part of newer kernel as well as a part of upgrade (not sure if there is any such configurable option in the kernel to make such FW files to be part of initrd ?). Thanks, Manish

Hi, Did you use the suggested dracut commands above to install FW in initrd ? Could you please send me the output from both the kernels for below - lsinitrd | grep bnx2x Thanks, Manish

Typically if it's part of initrd - it will look like below - # lsinitrd | grep bnx2x Arguments: --install-optional '/usr/lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e2-7.13.15.0.fw' --force I believe the driver in newer kernel trying to load the FW file from initrd (although not sure why it's not the case with older kernel - may be if you could supply ".config" files for both the kernels it may tell the config differences relevant to this). Please run the dracut command below to make/install the FW in initrd on newer kernel and again check "lsinitrd | grep bnx2x". dracut --install-optional /usr/lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e2-7.13.15.0.fw Thanks, Manish

For Debian initramfs-tools, there should be some method of adding/updating files in initramfs/initrd via some initramfs hooks just like dracut does. https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/92853/adding-a-file-to-etc-of-initramfs-in-debian-wheezy https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54150332/generate-custom-initramfs-image-with-additional-configuration-files Thanks, Manish

But still I can figure out where is the problem with this kernel. We have following workaround (still not tested by me): $ cat /etc/initramfs-tools/hooks/fix-missing-firmware #!/bin/sh PREREQ="" prereqs() { echo "$PREREQ" } case $1 in # get pre-requisites prereqs) prereqs exit 0 ;; esac . /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hook-functions for file in /lib/firmware/bnx2x/*; do if test -e $file; then copy_exec $file fi done I found this here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=857054 Thanks, Ivaylo
Created attachment 300502 [details] fix firmware load from initrd Hi, It seems like it could be driver bug which is not adding FW to new kernel initrd. I have attached a driver patch, can you please apply it on 5.16 problematic kernel and see if it helps resolving the issue ? Thanks, Manish
Hi Manish, Thank you. I will test tomorrow and will give you a feedback. Cheers, Ivaylo
Hi again Manish Seems to be the module declares dependency only on version 21 of the firmware, and these files(v21) are missing in the firmware-bnx2x. When I check in /lib/firmware/bnx2x there are no *21.0.fw(you can see this in earlier post). V15 are not declared in the module, so it will be not included in the initrd by initramfs-tools. When I update initframs looks like: ~#update-initramfs -u -k all update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-5.16.0-1-amd64 W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e2-7.13.21.0.fw for module bnx2x W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e1h-7.13.21.0.fw for module bnx2x W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e1-7.13.21.0.fw for module bnx2x update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-5.15.0-3-amd64 ~# I accept your solution with patch, however easiest way for me was to download the bnx2x-e2-7.13.21.0.fw and update the initramfs. Here is the download link for bnx2x firmware containing version 21 : https://anduin.linuxfromscratch.org/sources/linux-firmware/bnx2x/ And now you can see that the firmware is loading : dmesg | grep bnx2 [ 1.534145] bnx2x 0000:bd:00.0: msix capability found [ 1.534463] bnx2x 0000:bd:00.0: part number 0-0-0-0 [ 1.568934] bnx2x 0000:bd:00.0: firmware: direct-loading firmware bnx2x/bnx2x-e2-7.13.21.0.fw [ 1.709799] bnx2x 0000:bd:00.0: 32.000 Gb/s available PCIe bandwidth (5.0 GT/s PCIe x8 link) [ 1.709948] bnx2x 0000:bd:00.1: msix capability found [ 1.710306] bnx2x 0000:bd:00.1: part number 0-0-0-0 [ 1.866286] bnx2x 0000:bd:00.1: 32.000 Gb/s available PCIe bandwidth (5.0 GT/s PCIe x8 link) [ 1.868330] bnx2x 0000:bd:00.1 enp189s0f1: renamed from eth1 [ 1.892454] bnx2x 0000:bd:00.0 enp189s0f0: renamed from eth0 [ 10.399825] bnx2x 0000:bd:00.0 enp189s0f0: using MSI-X IRQs: sp 61 fp[0] 63 ... fp[7] 70 [ 11.233330] bnx2x 0000:bd:00.1 enp189s0f1: using MSI-X IRQs: sp 72 fp[0] 74 ... fp[7] 81 [ 11.539940] bnx2x 0000:bd:00.1 enp189s0f1: NIC Link is Up, 10000 Mbps full duplex, Flow control: ON - receive & transmit [ 137.867842] bnx2x 0000:bd:00.1 enp189s0f1: using MSI-X IRQs: sp 72 fp[0] 74 ... fp[7] 81 [ 138.059183] bnx2x 0000:bd:00.1 enp189s0f1: NIC Link is Up, 10000 Mbps full duplex, Flow control: ON - receive & transmit Thank you, Ivaylo
