[SOLVED] Unable to update due to Linux-firmware error

I tried to update the system today, but I keep getting the following error :-

Any remedies, I'm running 2.6.37 with NVIDIA driver on a 64-bit system.

Re: [SOLVED] Unable to update due to Linux-firmware error

pacman -Qo /lib/firmware/bnx2/bnx2-mips-06-6.0.15.fw

If nothing...  delete it.  If something, remove that package.

Re: [SOLVED] Unable to update due to Linux-firmware error

Deleting the packages worked.. but I think that pacman should've deleted them.. Anyways, I'm marking thread as solved..
