QLogic 2462 Mezzanine Card on BL460c G7 - Alt Kernel 8.1

[Zamtzu]

Hello, Alt Kernel 8.1 fixed the issue with XCP recognizing these QLogic cards, normal 8.1 kernel did not.

Thanks for the notice. Can you give us the output of lspci -k so that we can see what model they are and what module is used?

[Zamtzu]

Sure:

06:00.0 Fibre Channel: QLogic Corp. ISP2432-based 4Gb Fibre Channel to PCI Express HBA (rev 02) 06:00.1 Fibre Channel: QLogic Corp. ISP2432-based 4Gb Fibre Channel to PCI Express HBA (rev 02)

This output is missing the part about the kernel module, that the -k option adds

[Zamtzu]

Apologies.

@Zamtzu please share the alt kernel version that you are using in 8.1

@Zamtzu please share the alt kernel version that you are using in 8.1

That was probably the one from the base repository, so 4.19.108?

Any idea when this fix will make it into the normal kernel?

Just curious @Zamtzu, what is your version of qlogic-qla2xxx package? But qlogic-qla2xxx-firmware? From what I was able to gather, qla2xxx version 8.X does support ISP2432, but the version 10.x does not (the lowest supported is ISP2532).

Just installed kernel-alt on latest 8.2 and all is working properly. I sincerely hope this makes its way back to main kernel. I would think many of us using community software are struggling with older cards.
