fix(monza): Add Monaco initramfs firmware overlay by lool · Pull Request #305 · qualcomm-linux/qcom-deb-images

Loïc Minier (lool) · 2026-03-03T15:47:26Z

Add workaround-initramfs-firmware-monaco overlay to ensure
Monaco-specific firmware files are included in the initramfs.

Use this workaround for linux-daily-monza images.

See #258

Tip for shellcheck: use # shellcheck source=/dev/null above the source line like I did in #297

Done, thanks!

Koen Kooi (@koenkooi) I have a different set of files than yours; can you confirm?

Loïc Minier (lool) · 2026-03-03T15:57:29Z

I'm going to move this back to draft until Koen confirms the list of firmware that isn't loaded from initramfs-tools is critical for monza to work

Koen Kooi (@koenkooi) I have a different set of files than yours; can you confirm?

I think I have the same list:

debian@thing:~$ cat /etc/dracut.conf.d/firmware.conf | sed 's:\ :\n:g' | grep lib
/lib/firmware/qcom/qcs8300/adsp.mbn
/lib/firmware/qcom/qcs8300/cdsp0.mbn
/lib/firmware/qcom/qcs8300/gpdsp0.mbn
/lib/firmware/qcom/qcs8300/qupv3fw.elf

I really want the hook to fail if some of the firmware is not found instead of silently succeeding.

+do
+	if [ -f "$fw" ]; then


don’t we want to fail if the firmware files are not present in the first place? this hook will silently fail if the files are not found

I do not see this if removed from your last push?

But you're testing with dracut, I'm interested in the initramfs-tools gaps

Loïc Minier (lool) · 2026-03-04T13:04:13Z

Ok, went through installing a kernel locally, and then the initrd contains more modules and they lack their firmware; boot results in:

Mar 04 13:01:38 debian kernel: geni_i2c a90000.i2c: Direct firmware load for qcom/qcs8300/qupv3fw.elf failed with error -2

I really want the hook to fail if some of the firmware is not found instead of silently succeeding.

Changed to fail if missing; errors look like this:

Tested the latest version, here's the different between initramfs from pre-built image, and after running update-initramfs -u:

Github says there are no changes between commits after your last push, can you check that you added your changes? I am expecting for the if to be gone in order to approve the PR.
