Bug 641898 – sys-kernel/linux-firmware-20171206 kernel 4.14.[3-8] Direct firmware load for i915/skl_dmc_ver1_26.bin failed with error -2

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

[Description Fabio Coatti 2017-12-21 08:46:48 UTC]

I'm getting the error Direct firmware load for i915/skl_dmc_ver1_26.bin failed with error -2 since the linux-firmware-20171206 got installed. 
Not sure why, as the file is there.
Vanilla-sources, genkernel-ng.
I'm seeing this error with kernels 4.14.3 onward; dunno about the previous versions.

Got the issue: a wrongly configured CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR in kernel configuration. I guess that the issue can be closed.

[Comment 3 Stefano 2017-12-25 16:42:57 UTC]

Created attachment 511596 [details]
Config file for kernel showing this behavior

Uhm, not in my case. I mean, it's not set.

[Comment 5 Fabio Coatti 2017-12-25 19:44:52 UTC]

Now I have 
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR="/lib/firmware"

Added this to .config, recompiled, no change.

This is a local configuration problem. Apparently you have compiled the driver into the kernel but not the firmware.

Solution is to set driver to become module or the firmware to become part of the kernel through CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE.

The ath10k messages are expected as the driver tries to load board-specific firmware (not included in linux-firmware) before generic one (included in linux-firmware).
