[Solved] Kernel 5.8.0 - xhci_pci

Hallo,

after upgrading kernel to testing/5.8.0 I have 2 new messages about missing firmware for xhci_pci during mkinitcpio
for both presets (default/fallback)

==> Building image from preset: /etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux.preset: 'default'
  -> -k /boot/vmlinuz-linux -c /etc/mkinitcpio.conf -g /boot/initramfs-linux.img

I had no this messages for 5.7.x and lts kernels

Re: [Solved] Kernel 5.8.0 - xhci_pci

So possibly needed drivers will be soon or later (or never) part of linux-firmware (or add-on package).
Marking this as solved.

Re: [Solved] Kernel 5.8.0 - xhci_pci

I see this is Solved, but I thought I would add this info since I am having this issue too. I traced mine to the Renesas USB controller pci card.

xhci_hcd 0000:02:00.0: FW has invalid version :8209
xhci_hcd 0000:02:00.0: Direct firmware load for renesas_usb_fw.mem failed with error -2
xhci_hcd 0000:02:00.0: request_firmware failed: -2
xhci_hcd: probe of 0000:02:00.0 failed with error -2

I found this kernel.org bugzilla that is discussing this issue, so hopefully the fix will come soon:

For those with the uPD720201 or uPD720202 controller.
Although the package includes a pointless install file duplicating the functionality of the mkinitcpio hook but without a dependency on mkinitcpio meaning if it is installed on a system without mkinitcpio it will cause an error.  Package is also missing a license file.

@loqs
On the web page of the package, the maintainer says he has "tried to fix it" and that  it should be OK now.

PS - Hoping I did no harm by re-opening a thread marked as [Solved]...

Re: [Solved] Kernel 5.8.0 - xhci_pci

@philo Thank you for relaying my comments.  The existing hook can be reused by placing an empty file in /usr/lib/initcpio/.  The only difference would be initrd will not be rebuilt on package removal.

Re: [Solved] Kernel 5.8.0 - xhci_pci

Everyone has those, ignore the message if you don't have an affected USB controller or install the linked package if you have an affected USB controller.
