    Hello!

    I have a PC with a network card (Broadcom 57811) 10Gb fiber. When boot by network (BIOS legacy mode) (PXE filename: undionly.kkpxe) an error appears as it can not load the firmware bnx2x 7.13.1.0.fw. To solve it I have tried two options:

    A: I downloaded the 4.11.6 kernel to compile it with this active module (make menuconfig> Broadcom support 587XX)) and an error appears with initram when booting. Using the init.xz file that comes with FOG by default.

    B: I downloaded the 4.11.0 kernel and copied the configuration file from kitchensink.conf to .conf to compile it, adding the firmware file “bnx2x-e2-7.13.1.0.fw” to the firmware / bnx2x folder. When you boot it again the error appears that it can not load the firmware.

    I have no experience with the Linux kernel or boot images initram.
    How can I solve that?

    Thank you very much!

      I need the exact error message you’re seeing. Please load up the default 4.11.0 kernel and grab a picture of the error message.

      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.

      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

        @ccrespi said in How to add bnx2x firmware to kernel:

        (PXE filename: undionly.kkpxe) an error appears as it can not load the firmware bnx2x 7.13.1.0.fw

        Its unclear from your posting if this is an iPXE kernel (FOG Menu) issue or a FOS issue (with the kernel of you speak). As Tom suggested posting a clear picture of error will give us the context of the error message too (almost as important as the error).

            @ccrespi Very good, this shows us the error IS in the FOS linux kernel. The FOG kernel developers should be able to address this for you.

              @ccrespi I’ve updated the 4.11.0 kernels to include this firmware. I will, soon, be building newer kernels but from now forward the configs should have this setting defined as needed.

              To give a test please run:

              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
              

              Run a test by booting the machine and keeping us posted. Thank you

                  Can you try the same commands again?

                  Apparently I wasn’t thinking lastnight and I accidentally had -el where it should’ve been -e2.

                    @Tom-Elliott It works!

                    But I get the message of the IP address of the interface eth0 repeated, as if IP search several times with the same itnerfaz.

                    Thanks a lot!
