While updating Arch Linux today, I got a couple of warnings during mkinitcpio of linux-lts package.
-> Running build hook: [block]
==> WARNING: Possibly missing firmware for module: aic94xx
==> WARNING: Possibly missing firmware for module: bfa
After going through the forum thread and the mailing list, I found that there is nothing to worry, as this is because of a feature change in mkinitcpio 0.14 which checks all firmware modules and outs a warning, if any is missing. If any of those warnings you get is about any module, you are using, you have to worry. Otherwise you can simply ignore these warnings.
thank you so much. I also got this issue.
Is there a log after install that will indicate a list of those missing?
This was appearing long back. I am not sure whether this is happening these days. Anyway, there is nothing to worry about this error message. That is the whole point of this post.
