After the recent compilation of the kernel-rt for my Teclast F7 Plus laptop on arch linux I noticed some annoying alerts from mkinitcpio.

 

In detail, the alerts are as follows:

 

==> WARNING: Possibly missing firmware for module: aic94xx ==> WARNING: Possibly missing firmware for module: wd719x

 

The solution is to simply. Compile and install the firmware.

~$ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/aic94xx-firmware.git
~$ cd aic94xx-firmware
~$ makepkg -sri

 

~$ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/wd719x-firmware.git
~$ cd wd719x-firmware
~$ makepkg -sri

Update kernel image:

~$ sudo mkinitcpio -p linux

Note:

option -p calls a default preset to be used for building the kernel image. If you have other needs read the documentation about mkinitcpio.

Alternative for AUR use:

~$ yay aic94xx-firmware wd719x-firmware

the pkgbuild will do the rest by updating the kernel image after installation.
