qla2xxx firmware

[T. Papke]

Hello,

after installation on local discs on a blade (fedora core 7 64bit amd) 
and a complete yum update, i want to bring the san attached disks online 
(qla2312 controller). Dmesg shows the following during boot:

qla2xxx 0000:04:01.1: Found an ISP2312, irq 29, iobase 0xffffc20002748000
qla2xxx 0000:04:01.1: Configuring PCI space...
qla2xxx 0000:04:01.1: Configure NVRAM parameters...
qla2xxx 0000:04:01.1: Verifying loaded RISC code...
qla2xxx 0000:04:01.1: Firmware image unavailable.
qla2xxx 0000:04:01.1: Firmware images can be retrieved from: 
ftp://ftp.qlogic.com/outgoing/linux/firmware/.

Ok firstly i search with yum and i find the firmware and installed it:

yum install ql23xx-firmware.noarch

But still the same message during boot, but with rmmod qla2xxx and 
modprobe qla2xxx - the controller works.

But wuy not during boot? I have read, that initrd should be create with 
firmware (the modprobe.conf still had "alias scsi_hostadapter1 qla2xxx"):
" mkinitrd -v -f /boot/initrd-`uname -r`.img `uname -r`"

But still the same message during boot.

What is going wrong?

Thank you,
Thomas
