SOLVED running build-hook [block] reports list of missing firmware mod

Running pacman -Syu on two separate servers, from separate providers, in separate datacentres in separate countries, runs OK as far as where it gets to

 ->Running build hook: [build hook] 

where [build hook] is whichever one it is running. The output when it gets to block is as shown:

->Running build hook: [block] 
==> WARNING: Possibly missing firmware for module: aic94xx
==> WARNING: Possibly missing firmware for module: qed
==> WARNING: Possibly missing firmware for module: csiostor
==> WARNING: Possibly missing firmware for module: wd719x
==> WARNING: Possibly missing firmware for module: bfa
==> WARNING: Possibly missing firmware for module: qla1280
==> WARNING: Possibly missing firmware for module: qla2xxx
==> WARNING: Possibly missing firmware for module: isci
==> WARNING: Possibly missing firmware for module: advansys
==> WARNING: Possibly missing firmware for module: cxgb3
==> WARNING: Possibly missing firmware for module: cxgb4
==> WARNING: Possibly missing firmware for module: ums_eneub6250
==> WARNING: Possibly missing firmware for module: smsmdtv
  -> Running build hook: [filesystems]

Two of those, IIRC aic94xx and qla1280 have been there whether updating server, desktop or laptop, for what seems like forever. Any explanation available for the additions? Can I safely go on ignoring them? I'm not running any those I vaguely recognise and doubt any of the others are running either.

TIA,

Mike

Is linux-firmware installed? If that isn't it you will probably want to ask whoever is providing you with these images.

Are you using those modules? If so, yeah, you're going to want to find the firmware. If not, ignore it.
Totally normal.

Re: SOLVED running build-hook [block] reports list of missing firmware mod

Thanks, both. As I suspected. One is a brand new installation from a few days ago but not had time to look inside until now. So no idea yet if linux-firmware is installed. If not by default, i.e. part of base package, then no. The other is a reinstallation, even fresher. I'll mark the thread as solved as there doesn't seem to be much to look at.

Re: SOLVED running build-hook [block] reports list of missing firmware mod

It's clearly stated in the Installation Guide that the linux-firmware package isn't included in the new base group and has to be specifically installed.

Thanks Slithery. Saves me from having to search. Trying to do several things at once here. :-)

Re: SOLVED running build-hook [block] reports list of missing firmware mod

There are 2 modules that get included in the fallback initramfs and do not have firmware in the linux-firmware package, so I doubt linux-firmware is the issue here.
