[SOLVED] i915 enable_gvt=1 option firmware load error in dmesg

I've the following i915 options in /etc/modprobe.d/i915.conf:

`options i915 enable_fbc=1 enable_guc=2 guc_log_level=2 enable_gvt=1 fastboot=1`

$ dmesg | grep -iE "gvt"
[    1.178445] i915 0000:00:02.0: Direct firmware load for i915/gvt/vid_0x8086_did_0x1916_rid_0x07.golden_hw_state failed with error -2

How do I correct this?

Other firmware loads are successful:

$ dmesg | grep -iE "huc|guc"

Re: [SOLVED] i915 enable_gvt=1 option firmware load error in dmesg

According to the wiki

Using GVT-g graphics virtualization by setting enable_gvt=1 is not supported as of linux 4.18.8 when GuC/HuC is also enabled.
