[Bug 1234000] New: firmware links missing in the installation image
https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1234000 Bug ID: 1234000 Summary: firmware links missing in the installation image Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 15.6 Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation Assignee: yast2-maintainers@suse.de Reporter: gcomes.obs@gmail.com QA Contact: jsrain@suse.com Target Milestone: --- Found By: --- Blocker: --- I was trying to make an installation using the wifi interface, but the installation process failed because the firmware required by such interface was missing in the installation initrd. The wifi interface I'm using requires the firmware file rtl8723bs_nic.bin.xz in /lib/firmware/rtlwifi which in turn is a link to rtl8723bu_nic.bin.xz present in the same directory. In the initrd installation image (https://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/15.6/repo/oss/boot/x86_64/lo...) in the squashfs file parts/00_lib the directory lib/firmware/rtlwifi contains the firmware file rtl8723bu_nic.bin.xz but the soft link rtl8723bs_nic.bin.xz is missing. If it were present, I would be able to use the wifi interface to perform the installation (tested). Can the soft links be added in the squashfs image containing the firmware files? This is not a problem only for Leap. The links are missing as well in tumbleweed. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
