man page says separator for files is comma whereas during runtime it says it should be a space-separated list (this is the option that works): --firmware-files=<files> Specifies specific firmware files to copy. This overrides --firmware-dir. For multiple files, separate the filenames with a comma this doesn't work: * Running with options: --btrfs --microcode=intel --microcode-initramfs --firmware --firmware-files=i915/icl_dmc_ver1_09.bin,rtl_nic/rtl8153a-2.fw --no-ramdisk-modules initramfs * ERROR: FIRMWARE_FILES should be a space-separated list. this works (the command includes double quotes: --firmware-files="i915/icl_dmc_ver1_09.bin rtl_nic/rtl8153a-2.fw"): * Running with options: --btrfs --microcode=intel --microcode-initramfs --firmware --firmware-files=i915/icl_dmc_ver1_09.bin rtl_nic/rtl8153a-2.fw --no-ramdisk-modules initramfs
