Linux-firmware >= 20250613.12fe085f-5 upgrade requires manual intervention

Never trust AI results without verification.I payed my dues and learnd if I don’t understand precisly what the KI reports and if it cannot explain it to me, so that it is really clear to me I don’t use its suggestions.

No, don’t reboot, that’s potentially not booting up again. I don’t use dracut, wait for someone with dracut-knowledge.

sudo reinstall-kernels should do the trick.

is there any statement/article to read with regards to split linux packages and why they do that?

Would be curious to read why they split the firmware into different packages as well.

Maybe this old Arch news explains it in parts:

I just landed on that page as well, if they did it in the past it would have been useful and informative that they had added it to yesterday’s new update as well.

they says in that article to reduce disk space but they still shipped it in bundles of multiple packages.. so what is the logic on that?

Thanks @TheRaOct & @marteng69! Seems the other thread was never really resolved…

Looks like the generated files in /efi/66… are the same after doing a sudo reinstall-kernels, and that gave no errors. So I guess the broken pipe must be from something else in the script that calls it.

Anyway, reboot worked fine, and all seems okay.

In some thread @dalto had mentioned that it was due to dracut and that it was no problem to restart. By the way, I do this every time I get this message. Never had a problem.
sudo reinstall-kernels is an option either :wink:

No TPM would be true here. Still a little disturbing, seeing an error message on kernel updates. :wink:

I don’t know that. I’m technically out of my depth :wink:

That’s why you have the forum to ask about it :rofl:

No, seriously. This is of course somewhat confusing for some users. Of course, I don’t know how to handle this technically. Maybe you have to intervene directly in dracut, which would be beyond our capabilities

If I remember the news at the time they split linux-firmware into linux-firmware and linux-firmware-whence it was said that they will not install all firmware data with it. If you check pacman -Ss linux-firmware- you may see that there are more packages that are not installed.

I’m new to EndeavourOS, just been running it for some weeks now, but this broke my system and I’m not sure why yet.

First I followed above instructions, no errors, but a black screen and complete crash on reboot.
In an attempt to mitigate the issue I chrooted back in and manually installed linux-firmware-amdgpu and reran reinstall-kernels, both with no errors; the issue persisted.

At this point I was unsure if there was something with the kernel or the linux-firmware, since both had been updated and hadn’t worked yet; so I rolled back linux-firmware to 20250508.788aadc8-2 via USB chroot and all is well again, the system is completely up-to-date save for the linux-firmware packages at the time of writing.

My boot log is showing me this, seems to be something with the amdgpu driver anyway, I’m running a 9070 XT, is this a known issue, or? :sos_button:

Any help appreciated! :blush:

Same problem for me with my 9700 xt :frowning:

Thank you! Did my nightly update and ran into this problem. Rebooted and tried again, but problem recurred. Then I saw this and directions worked a treat.

Also on 9070 XT and ran into the same problem and fixed by rolling back linux-firmware.
