Bug Description
Binary package hint: wireless-tools
Hardy alpha 4 running off verified hardy-desktop-i386 image
On Dell Latitude D531 laptop
infinite loop during installation
Laptop has broadcom BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI and netXtreme BCM5755M gigabit ethernet
Connected on ethernet (RJ45 port) via DHCP, no wireless in range
Initial error report:
32.209565 PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 5 of device 0000:00:12.0
Then infinite loop, repeated messages:
[157.817529] b43-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file "b43/ucode5.fw" not found or load failed.
[159.573837] go to http://
eventualy: [1002.585609] evdev: no more fee evdev devices
number in [ ] increments for as long as you wait
Status: critical or major blocker?
I am getting the same error loop (same 2 messages repeating) he mentioned above with the Alpha 4 AM64 desktop CD (I checked the MD5 sum and ran the CD verification successfully before posting.) The initial error may be the same too, but I only wrote down the other 2 messages when I was taking notes (that's the bad part about boot-up errors: I had to actually write something down instead of copying and pasting, so you sometimes miss things.)
PC model is: Acer Extensa 5420-5687
My wireless hardware is:
Wireless brand and model: 05:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 01)
Wireless chipset: 05:00.0 0280: 14e4:4311 (rev 01)
Hope this helps,
