As said Santiago Vila, it is probably a missing firmware (I don't think
the installer can warn form something else). One way to find which one
is to run the "dmesg" command (needs root since linux 4.7), and to
search for the word "firmware":

# dmesg | grep firmware

Could you give the result of this command?
