Problem with isp driver in 8.3-Stable

[Tom Lislegaard]

I'm trying to utilize a Qlogic 2432 FC card on 8.3-Stable (amd64)
using the isp(4) driver.
When I try to load the driver I get this

kldload: can't load isp: Exec format error

and dmesg says

link_elf_obj: symbol firmware_get undefined
linker_load_file: Unsupported file type

It seems that 'firmware_get' is defined in firmware.ko (is there a
missing dependancy on this in isp?)
Anyway, even if I load firmware.ko first I still get the same error.

'file /boot/kernel/isp.ko' returns

/boot/kernel/isp.ko: ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, x86-64, version 1
(FreeBSD), not stripped

There's nothing special in /etc/make.conf

I'm using 8.3 as of yesterday, but saw the same behaviour on my
previous install which was 8.2 from a few months back.

I have working Qlogic 2432 FC with 8.2-STABLE (from November) GENERIC amd64.
I.e. it is the same configurations like yours.

Do you have something special/non-standard in your setup like kernel
config or so?
Putting ispfw_load="YES" into /boot/loader.conf should be enough to
make isp work
(both device firmware and device isp are already there in GENERIC).

Thanks for the tip. While isp (+ firmware and ispfw) don't seem to
work as a loadable module, it works when compiled into the kernel.
Adding them to my custom kernel config solved it for me.
