Hi there, I'm pretty sure this is a result of the UsrMerge thing. I normally use kernel-default and kernel-firmware from Kernel:stable on all of my systems. While kernel-default-5.12.12-2.1.g43254cf.x86_64 works flawlessly, it fails to locate the firmware files from the latest package kernel-firmware-20210609-35.1.noarch. Here are the symptoms: iwlwifi 0000:06:00.0: Direct firmware load for iwlwifi-3160-17.ucode failed with error -2 iwlwifi 0000:06:00.0: no suitable firmware found! iwlwifi 0000:06:00.0: check git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git i915 0000:00:02.0: Direct firmware load for i915/kbl_dmc_ver1_04.bin failed with error -2 i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] Failed to load DMC firmware i915/kbl_dmc_ver1_04.bin. Disabling runtime power management. i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] DMC firmware homepage: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/... And indeed, the files used to live at /lib/firmware before, but are now located at /usr/lib/firmware, however dracut does not look there when creating the initrd. This is on Leap 15.3 and 15.2. Shall I put this into Bugzilla? Cheers. l8er manfred
