Don: Thanks! I had a similar email queued up! Pratik: I have added some additional information. On 8/17/20 2:42 PM, Penney, Don wrote:
Firmware isn’t my area, but we don’t have bnx2x-bnxZ2x-e2-7.13.11.0.fw in our load at all. We are currently including linux-firmware-20190429-72.gitddde598.el7.noarch.rpm in our system:

The closest it has to what you’re looking for is:
/usr/lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e1-7.13.11.0.fw
/usr/lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e1h-7.13.11.0.fw
/usr/lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e2-7.13.11.0.fw
I think that the e2-7.13.11.0 will work.
I see nothing with bnxZ2x.
We don’t currently update the initrd or squashfs (installer rootfs) with the linux-firmware RPM, so we just have what’s in the stock installer images. The initrd only has a handful of firmware images, while the squashfs.img appears to have a slightly older version of the linux-firmware RPM content (missing the 7.13.11.0 images listed above).
Yeah, I was looking into this also, there is the 7.13.1.0 firmware
If the firmware you need is in a newer version of the linux-firmware RPM, we’d need to update the rpms_centos.lst file to move to the newer version, and also update the update-pxe-network-installer utility to update the linux-firmware RPM content in the initrd.img and squashfs.img images:
https://opendev.org/starlingx/root/src/branch/master/build-tools/update-pxe-...
A quick starting point might be to try adding the newer firmware load into the /pxeboot/rel-20.06/installer-intel-x86-64-initrd_1.0 image on Controller-0. If I remember your trying to use this for Controller-1. We would welcome a general change that could add specified modules/firmware to the initrd.img based on what Don suggested above. Sau!
Cheers,
Don.

Can you try installing from the master ISO to see if the 4.18 kernel addresses these panics?
Sure, I will try and update.
Hi,
As an update, I tried using R4.0, but that didn't work. Is it because the initrd does not have the necessary firmware?
