Possibly missing firmware for module XXXX
Possibly missing firmware for module XXXX
When initramfs are being rebuilt after a kernel update, you might get warnings:
==> WARNING: Possibly missing firmware for module: module_name
If these messages appear when generating a default initramfs image, then, as the warning says, installing additional
firmware may be required. Most common firmware files can be acquired by installing the linux-firmware package. For
other packages providing firmware see the table below or try searching for the module name in the official repositorie
s or AUR.
Otherwise, if the messages only appear when generating the fallback initramfs image you have the following options:
You can safely ignore the warnings, if you know that you do not use the affected hardware.
If you want to suppress the warnings, you can install the missing firmware. The meta-package
mkinitcpio-firmware
AUR contains most optional firmwares. Alternatively, manually install the needed packages:
