#207694 — Nvidia firmwares

Hi

I run testing.

Each time update-initramfs is run I get following messages

W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/nvidia/gv100/sec2/sig.bin for
module nouveau

There are nvidia firmwares in the package firmware-misc-nonfree but no
gv100 directory. Where do those messages come from, and what should I do
about them (I use the nvidia drivers not nouveau).

Thank you

They come from update-initramfs trying to add all firmwares referenced 
by kernel modules included in the initramfs, when some of them are not 
installed. It does not mean that your hardware needs any of these 
missing firmwares.

However it appears that update-initramfs wants to include nouveau in the 
initramfs. This is new to me : up to Stretch the initramfs did not 
include graphic driver modules by default (unless you force them in 
/etc/initramfs-tools/modules).

Anyway if you use nvidia then nouveau should be blacklisted, so you can 
ignore the warning safely. It would be best to prevent nouveau from 
being included in the initramfs, but I don't know how to do it.
