Strange QLA1040 firmaware load error with 2.6.30 from testing
After upgrading to linux-image-2.6.30-alpha-generic I get the following
trace in the kernel log. The qlogic firmware package is installed, as
initramfs complained about missing bin files.
The driver loads and the system works as expected, all disks are reported:

Anybody has seen this, too?
Just one question: Is the firmware always needed or can I uninstall the
qlogic-firmware package again? Does the controller has an eprom or does it
only works with driver-provided firmware? As the firmware does not seem to
be loaded correctly, is it really needed?
I do not want to try this out, as I have no physical access to the machine
currently.
