This is really getting silly. How is it possible that an initrd will not USE the firmware included with it to allow me to initialize my Qlogic FC card? I've built my own, I've read everything I can about initrd and initramfs and I'm still stuck. Are there tools included with Fedora that let me edit/muck initramfs settings? Or do I have to roll my own?

I just don't get it, between FC6 2.6.20 and 2.6.22 kernels in FC6 this capability was broken and no one's complained? I'm really very tempted to file a bug report on this for F8 and hope it gets fixed that way, since I'm unable to find an answer.

Mark,

Try something like,

1. Add your qlogic entries to your /etc/modprobe.conf (so that step 3 below will include and load the drivers)

2. Backup your current initrd image

   mv /boot/initrd-$(uname -r).img mv /boot/initrd-$(uname -r).img-OLD

3. Create a new initrd

   mkinitrd  -v /boot/initrd-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)

If the card has a newer firmware version than the driver, it should not use the driver version - normally.

Question: Why the need to build your own - they are included in Fedora, check with:

ls -la /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/scsi/qla*

Albert.
