Bug#384040: qla2xxx needs firmware
Hi,
I solved my issue with this post. I downloaded this package:
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/non-free/f/firmware-nonfree/firmware-qlogic_0.1_all.deb
During the installation, when the installer indicate it don't find the disk drive, I've switched to the alternate console (Alt + F2) and I did the following commands:
wget http://172.16.1.18/bruno/firmware-qlogic_0.1_all.deb
udpkg -i firmware-qlogic_0.1_all.deb
modprobe -r qla2xxx
modprobe qla2xxx
verify with dmesg you see volumes sda and sdb
Hit Alt + F1 to come back to the installation and validate "continue with no disk drive"
On the main menu, select Detect disks
At the end of the installation, you need to copy the firmware on the disk drive and in the initramfs image.
On the "Finish the installation" screen
Swith to the alternate console (Alt + F2) and I did the following commands:
cp /firmware-qlogic_0.1_all.deb /home
chroot /target
dpkg -i /home/firmware-qlogic_0.1_all.deb
cd /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks
mv firmware-qlogic.hook.initramfs-tools firmware (with the original name, the update-initramfs failed)
chmod 755 firmware
update-initramfs -uv
Hit Alt + F1 to come back to the installation and validate Continue
