Hello, the iwlwifi module seems to be missing firmware dependencies on some "pnvm" files. At least, the module crashes at boot of the pnvm file corresponding to the ucode file isn't present, but "modinfo -F firmware iwlwifi" does not list the pnvm files: $ uname -r 6.7.1-arch1-1 $ ls /usr/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-*.pnvm.zst /usr/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-gl-c0-fm-c0.pnvm.zst /usr/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-so-a0-gf4-a0.pnvm.zst /usr/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-ma-b0-gf4-a0.pnvm.zst /usr/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-so-a0-gf-a0.pnvm.zst /usr/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-ma-b0-gf-a0.pnvm.zst /usr/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0.pnvm.zst $ modinfo -F firmware iwlwifi | rg pnvm I stumbled over this while building a system image with mkosi. To minimze image size I was removing unneeded modules from the image, and mkosi automatically removed firmware files no longer needed according to "modinfo". The image failed to boot, with iwlwifi complaining about a missing pnvm file (I'm sorry but I don't have the actual error message at hand anymore). After manually adding the pnvm file to the image, it booted successfully. See https://github.com/systemd/mkosi/issues/2334 for the mkosi bug report. This is my first mail to this list, and to any kernel mailing list really, so I'm sorry if it's missing information or is somehow inappropriate. I'm not subscribed to this list, so please keep me CC'ed if you need further information. Cheers, Sebastian Wiesner
