HP NC511i Driver (be2net and be2scsi) is missing in kernel module udebs

[Stephan Ruegamer]

Dear Colleagues,

I tested this morning two installations of Lucid (10.04.1) and Maverick (Daily from yesterday) server flavour.

The installation was performed on a HP BL465 G7 Series with an HP NC511i Ethernet/ISCSI/FoE dual port 10GBit/s card.
During installation via debian-installer, the network interfaces were not found, because of the missing kernel module.

But after installation and rebooting into the production system, the kernel detected the card and loaded the following modules:

be2net
be2scsi

Somehow those two modules are missing from the installer kernel udeb packages.

Please consider a fix for Maverick and also for Lucid 10.04.2

Thx in advance,

\sh

Accepted linux into lucid-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

[Steve Conklin (sconklin)]

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed' to 'verification-done'.

If verification is not done by Thursday, November 11, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

[Tim Gardner (timg-tpi)]

The patch applied to Maverick was only partially correct. A pull request for both Lucid and Maverick is in progress.

[Steve Conklin (sconklin)]

Due to national holidays, the deadline for verification of fixes for the -proposed kernel has been extended thru Monday, November 15th.

If verification that this bug is fixed by the -proposed kernel has not occurred by that date, the change will be reverted and this bug will be set to incomplete.

If you have tested the kernel in -proposed and found that it fixes the bug on the original hardware, please change the bug tag "verification-needed" to "verification-done".

The new stable kernel release process under which these actions are being taken is still being refined, and is documented here:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/StableReleaseCadence

Discussions about the new process tend to take place in #ubuntu-kernel on IRC, so please contribute to the discussion there if you would like.

Thank you!

[Steve Conklin (sconklin)]

Verification that this bug is fixed has not been completed by the deadline for the current stable kernel release cycle.
The change will be reverted and this bug is being set to incomplete.

In order to have this fix considered for reapplication to the kernel, please follow the process documented here:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/StableReleaseCadence

Discussions about the new process tend to take place in #ubuntu-kernel on IRC, so please contribute to the discussion there if you would like.

Thank you!

Lucid SRU:

These 2 patches in Lucid produce the correct kernel modules:

UBUNTU: [Config] Added be2net, be2scsi to udebs
UBUNTU: [Config] Use correct be2iscsi module name in d-i/modules/scsi-modules

As can be seen from the following, be2net.ko and be2iscsi.ko are produced in the correct udebs.
