Default Anyone using Qlogic fibrechannel card on 8.3-Stable?
I'm trying to use a Qlogic 2432 FC card on 8.3-Stable (built today, had the same error with an 8.2-Stable from a couple of months ago). When loading the isp(4) driver I get this

Code:
gnome:~# kldload isp
kldload: can't load isp: Exec format error
dmesg says this:

Code:
link_elf_obj: symbol firmware_get undefined
linker_load_file: Unsupported file type
It seems that 'firmware_get' is defined in firmware.ko so I have tried to load that before loading isp, but still get the same error

Do you have any idea what I'm missing here?

AFAIK, the isp and the firmware devices are already built into the GENERIC kernel for 8.2. Why are you trying to load the module? Do you have a custom kernel that lacks the isp and firmware devices?

I have a custom kernel, yes. You have a point though, I just recompiled the kernel adding this

Code:
device          isp
device          ispfw
device          firmware
and it works. The 14 new disks hanging off the qlogic popped up immediately

Why isp isn't usable as a loadable module is beyond me, but compiling it into the kernel is a workaround I can live with.

[FWIW I have an old wreck running 7.4-Stable/i386 where I do load isp as a module]
