Bug Description
---Problem Description---
I am trying to install Ubuntu 15.04 on a PowerNV system using a network installation. I am able to obtain an IP address with DHCP from the petitboot menu. I am also able to load the installation kernel and begin the installation but the network configuration within the installer fails. I tried to manually configure the network, but that failed too. When I exited to the shell of the installer, I can see my interface has the IP address that I manually configured(
~ # ip address

I noticed in the /var/log/syslog for the install the following errors related to the bnx2x driver:
Feb 23 18:49:34 kernel: [ 546.172944] bnx2x 0005:01:00.2: Direct firmware load for bnx2x/bnx2x-
Feb 23 18:49:34 kernel: [ 546.172950] bnx2x: [bnx2x_
Feb 23 18:49:34 kernel: [ 546.172952] bnx2x: [bnx2x_
Feb 23 18:49:34 kernel: [ 546.172957] bnx2x: [bnx2x_
I'm wondering if this failure message for the network driver is what is preventing me from connecting to the network during the install?
---uname output---
N/A - Trying to do a fresh install of 15.04
Machine Type = 8247-42L
---Steps to Reproduce---
Boot the PowerNV system to petitboot menu and select network install of Ubuntu 15.04.
Install method: Network install
Install ISO Information: vivid-server-
The initrd has an older set of fw files and not the one the driver is expecting to load:
/lib/firmware/bnx2x # ls
bnx2x-e1-
/lib/firmware/bnx2x #
