[dm-devel] RE: qla2xxx 0000:03:0c.0: Firmware image unavailable

[Moger, Babu]

You are right. Looks like qlogic driver loads even before udev hotplug is functional.  Driver loads successfully when I re-load the driver after the system in up.  Is there any solution or work-around for this problem?

Thanks
Babu Moger

Firmware is loaded through udev hotplug interface i.e using
request_firmware(). Can you verify if udev hotplug is functional in your
setup.

To reproduce this in my local setup, I have kill'ed udevd daemon and
loaded qlogic module which failed with firmware unavailable message.

Sudhakar
