Re: Warnings when upgrading the system- firmware possible missing

Completely normal and you'll see that on every kernel update and corresponding generation of the fallback initramfs

If you don't own or are using HW that would require a certain piece of firmware you can safely ignore the warning.

Not a sys admin topic, moving to NC
