Yes, perhaps it is fixed. However there are not many eyes on this
problem, so maybe it's not fixed.
There was a suggestion that this driver would only fail during
installation, but would be fine if you had booted from some SCSI disk,
and are mounting the FibreChannel disk from a running Linux.
I tried Debian GNU/Linux Sid on my 280R (in storage) yesterday, though I
didn't do an installation but netbooted from a ready-made NFS root FS.
I can confirm that Sid works on the 280R and hence most likely will also
work on a Blade 1000, but still the qla2xxx driver makes problems as
soon as it begins working - as Frans already mentioned.
At first the qla2xxx module didn't work due to missing firmware, but
after installing the missing firmware (from the `firmware-qlogic`
package) and rebooting, the currently used kernel 4.16.5 panics soon
(about 15 seconds) after the qla2xxx module is loaded (see below).
So when testing a Debian installation on a Blade 1000, one should also
prepare an internal/external SCSI disk for installation. There might be
a 68 pin SCSI connector plus power connector available below the disc
drive. The qla2xxx module can be blacklisted with e.g.
`modprobe.blacklist=qla2xxx` in the kernel command line if it creates
problems during installation.
