Bug Description
SRU Justification:
[Impact]
Users of the 3.19 kernel in Trusty will be unable to netboot if using bnx2x drivers that utilize 7.10.51.0 firmware.
[Test Case]
Try netboot installing on a machine that has a bnx2x driver that uses 7.10.51.0 firmware
[Fix]
Adding 7.10.51.0 firmware to the linux-firmware udeb

The network interface is using the bnx2x driver:
root@quenv:~# lspci |grep -i broadcom
0003:0e:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM57800 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10)
0003:0e:00.1 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM57800 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10)
0003:0e:00.2 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM57800 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10)
0003:0e:00.3 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM57800 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10)
Since Ubuntu 15.10 is working, but 14.04.3 is not, can someone check to see if there are some driver fixes that need to be backported?
== Comment: #2 - David Heller <email address hidden> - 2015-06-25 19:18:01 ==
You are probably correct: there may be some patches that need to be backported. But it's not clear whether it's a bnx2x driver issue just yet. I say that because of recent bug 122410 and bug 122009 which found some things lacking in the "linux-firmware" package. Can you please check your logs to see if you have the same error messages seen there, regarding cannot load firmware?
At the point the install fails you should be able to "go back" and then "execute a shell", and then you can tail your /var/log/syslog and see if you see those messages, or whatever the issue is you should see some evidence there. You also should be able to run "lsmod", "modinfo bnx2x" and "ip link" from the installer shell so please collect that as well.
If you can get the system booted into 14.04,3, perhaps by installing over a different NIC, you could check these things and the linux-firmware package level also. When I logged into your node it was already booted into 15.10, so I went ahead and collected the info there. If you could do the same for 14.04,3 we can compare. With that, and the install log information, we should be able to see what the problem is. Thx.
