--000000000000d507a8062ca8d5c1 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Hi! So, there's no longer a build target for the firmware uuencoded files -> kernel module. Being able to build iwm in the kernel rather than a module is broken. Now, the real issue(s) are that iwm needs firmware to initialise, and the firmware needs to exist, and thus it needs access to the rootfs for firmware_get() to find the now binary files in /boot/firmware instead of the kernel module old way, and that whole pipeline is broken if it's loaded at boot time or included in the kernel directly. There isn't a nice way to defer the firmware load attempt until /after/ rootfs is up. -adrian --000000000000d507a8062ca8d5c1 Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div dir=3D"ltr"><div class=3D"gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div><br>= </div><div>Hi!</div><div><br></div><div>So, there's no longer a build t= arget for the firmware uuencoded files -> kernel module.</div><div><br><= /div><div>Being able to build iwm in the kernel rather than a module is bro= ken.</div><div><br></div><div>Now, the real issue(s) are that iwm needs fir= mware to initialise, and the firmware needs to exist, and thus it needs acc= ess to the rootfs for firmware_get() to find the now binary files in /boot/= firmware instead of the kernel module old way, and that whole pipeline is b= roken if it's loaded at boot time or included in the kernel directly.
