    @george1421

    I just got a moment to do the same thing, heres more of the logfile,

    the devices stuff is difficult for me to interprete, the device i need to work is Broadcom 5720 DP 1Gb Network Interface * I think*

        @Tom-Elliott said in bnx2x fails to load firmware on Dell R430:

        You mind rerunning the installer? I’ve added the missing firmware to the kernel build.

        So does that bring the current kernel to 4.7.4? Just for my knowledge.

        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!

          @george1421 No, it is the version of the current kernel (4.7.3) as on kernel.org

              ok, re-installed fog rebooted on the new kernel, drivers loaded fine but all drivers say there is no link, although its running on a pxe kernel :-p. all the firmware errors are gone. I’m running out of time here today, but I’ll jump into tomorrow and see what the link issue is about. the debug kernel selection is still loading by default so i guess it will do that until i delete the task.

                @grey The phandle messages are non-impacting, and you can probably turn back down the loglevel. The drivers with no link simply means the kernel can’t find a corresponding device for the driver being loaded.

                  @grey Correct it will stay in debug capture until the capture completes or you cancel the task. its kind of handy for debugging your hardware.

                  As for the no link issue I would go back to the error logs on the FOS client. Also the lspci command (one of the switches) should show what kernel driver is managing which device.

                    As we can see from your earlier posts you have four NICs in that one server. Which one is connected and how often do you see the message “no link”??

                      ok PNX2X is the fiber ports so we can disregard them, oddly they where enumerated first so thats part of the problem as i thought the ethernet ports would be first, the TG3 driver is the ethernet port and the ones we are interested in. eth5 is the port thats active and does have link, although its not getting a DHCP assigment ( statically assigned to that mac ), even though at pexe boot it is.

                        OK this is good promising news. eth5 is getting a link up but no IP address in FOS but you can pxe boot and iPXE is getting an IP address because the FOS kernel (bzImage) and VHD (init.xz) are being sent to the target computer. When we see this we typically see that spanning tree is turned on at the network switch. Spanning tree takes about 27 seconds for the port to start forwarding data. The FOS engine is so fast that it has already given up by the time spanning tree starts to forward data.

                        On these ports you need to enable one of the fast spanning tree prototocols (port fast, fast stp, rstp, or what ever your switch mfg calls it). A quick check to see if its a spanning tree issue is to put an unmanaged switch between the building switch and the target computer. This unmanaged switch keeps the port on the building switch from winking as the iPXE kernel hands off the network interface to the FOS engine.

                        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!

                          its a cisco so its port fast, i’ll check right now,

                            Also pondering this a bit more since your first (usable) interface is eth5 I can see another issue.

                            @Developers Does the FOS engine stop enumerating the network adapter at eth1 or will it keep going until it finds a network adapter with a link up state to use? OR Is there a kernel parameter we can pass that says to use ethX as the FOS network interface?

                              @george1421 It tries everything until it finds a link up I believe.

                                Great, I have never tried. But I just thought I can test this by creating a vm with 6 network adapters with eth5 being the only one connected. But I’m not sure if I can have it defined but not having the link up. I may have to play in my test lab later tonight.

                                  @george1421 Well it goes a bit further, if a link is up, but fails to get an ip, it will continue on as well, I believe.

                                    @Tom-Elliott That one I can test by setting the interface to a vlan without a dhcp server. I will prove that one out for sure. The other one I’m not sure if I can have a “unplugged” interface but have it appear in linux with ESXi.

                                      Networking works!

                                      I can confirm that, mine runs through interfaces 1-5 and now now acquires a IP!, i’m unsure if there is a arbitrary limit. when 5 was failing to get DHCP it also tried 6 and 7. Toms fix on the firmware of the drivers and Georges portfast suggestion solved the last of my network issues. Unfortunately I won’t have access to the servers for a week or so, but once they get back i’ll see how the imaging goes. at this point it should work as the rest is similar to my older servers setup the same way.

                                          @grey Before you loose access to this server pxe boot it again and run the compatibility test from the FOG iPXE menu. I’m interested to see if both networking and storage passes (you will be too).
