qlogic fibre disks lenny sun blade 1000
Hi,
I'm having problems installing Lenny (also Etch) on a sun blade 1000.
During installation the disks are not recognized.
This is know problem as the firmware is in non-free. For the
installation I fix this by doing:
udpkg -i firmware-qlogic-di_0.4+etchnhalf.1_all.udeb
modprobe -r qla2xxx
modprobe qla2xxx
After the installation, but before reboot, I chroot into the new system.
And do the same. Meaning installing the firmware-qlogic package from
non-free.
When I then reboot the system it still says it can't find the qlogic
firmware!
After some time I fall into the initramfs shell I can see that in
/lib/firmware the firmware is available.
If do
modprobe -r qla2xxx
modprobe qla2xxx
my disks are recognized and I manually mount them.
But now I'm stuck.
Can anybody help me please.
Thank you
