[PLUG] Ubuntu Server on HP ProLiant DL380 G5

[Chuck Hast]

looked in the kernel.log and found the following error message
bnx2  0000:05:00.0: Direct firmware load for bnx2/bnx2-mips-06-6.2.3.fw
failed with error -2
bnx2  Can't load firmware file " bnx2/bnx2-mips-06-6.2.3.fw"

Then it appears to try and load it again and fails. But it works in the
desktop version.

It LOOKS like the bnx2 module is in there, but if you try to insmod it, the
system comes back saying it doesn't
exist, if you look back in /sys/modules it is no longer there.  I also got
a pix of the system as it is setting up
the second line above is what is flashed on the screen. I am trying to
figure out how to work around this one.
Not sure what is going on with Ubuntu Live Server,
