Hi, [please CC me on replies, as I am not subscribed]

 booting  2.6.30-rc2-git7 on a HP/DL380G3 (x86_64, RHEL4.3, 64 bit userspace) is much slower that it used to be. It seems I run into timeouts when [trying to] load intel and tg3 microcodes:

[   14.478892] platform microcode: firmware: requesting intel-ucode/0f-04-0a
[   74.476741] platform microcode: firmware: requesting intel-ucode/0f-04-0a
[  134.476638] platform microcode: firmware: requesting intel-ucode/0f-04-0a
[  194.476637] platform microcode: firmware: requesting intel-ucode/0f-04-0a
[  254.476493] Microcode Update Driver: v2.00 <tigran@...azian.fsnet.co.uk>, Peter Oruba
[  254.718489] Microcode Update Driver: v2.00 removed.

 So, we see 60 seconds for eaoch of the CPUs

[  255.273426] tg3 0000:03:01.0: PME# disabled
[  257.833769] tg3: eth0: Link is up at 1000 Mbps, full duplex.
[  257.833775] tg3: eth0: Flow control is off for TX and off for RX.
[  269.643973] tg3 0000:03:01.1: firmware: requesting tigon/tg3_tso.bin
[  329.640456] eth1: Failed to load firmware "tigon/tg3_tso.bin"
[  329.640463] eth1: TSO capability disabled.
[  329.640487] tg3 0000:03:01.1: PME# disabled
[  333.081753] tg3: eth1: Link is up at 1000 Mbps, full duplex.
[  333.081759] tg3: eth1: Flow control is off for TX and off for RX.

 We see 60 seconds for eth1, complaining about a failed firmware load.
/lib/firmware/tigon/tg3_tso.bin does exist and is from the current
build.

 
So, any ideas? Config is attached

Cheers
Martin
