hmm, actually upon digging deeper, it looks like the latest linux-firmware doesnt have navi10_mes.bin. if i understand correctly, the rx 5600 xt is navi10, right? navi10_mes.bin is one of the firmware files that update-initramfs is saying is missing. is there any way i can get my hands on navi10_mes.bin?
