      Hi Guys,

      FOS is failing to load the firmware for BCM57711E 10GBE which is installed on most of blades ( ProLiant BL460c G6) inside the HP BladeCenter c7000.
      I had a similar issue in the past with dell blades m620 and another 10gbe Broadcom card, Tom Eliot was so kind to update FOS around the August timeframe and included the fix:
      sudo mkdir -pv /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/backup
      sudo mv -v /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/bzImage* /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/backup
      wget -O /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/bzImage https://fogproject.org/kernels/bzImage
      wget -O /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/bzImage32 https://fogproject.org/kernels/bzImage32

      here are the details from FOS dmesg for the failed firmware load:

      lscpi :
      02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM57711E 10-Gigabit PCIe
      02:00.1 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM57711E 10-Gigabit PCIe

      Are you able to kindly update the FOS with BCM57711E firmware ?

      Thanks in Advance,

      Aviram

        @jones We have updates the kernels, if you update your copies of them it should work.

        Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG! Get in contact with me (chat bubble in the top right corner) if you want to join in.

          @jones Sorry we missed your post! Just too much happening and too little time.

          We do add firmeware binary blobs as people ask specifically to do so. We can add this one for you, no problem. @Tom-Elliott does the kernel updates, though he’s real busy. See when he gets to it.

          Which version of FOG do you use right now?

          Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

          Please support FOG if you like it: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Support_FOG
