I try run below command on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

sudo update-initramfs -u -k $(uname -r)

I get:

update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-5.8.0-43-generic
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/amdgpu/navi10_mes.bin for module amdgpu
I: The initramfs will attempt to resume from /dev/dm-2
I: (/dev/mapper/vgubuntu-swap_1)
I: Set the RESUME variable to override this.

So where I can get this file (navi10_mes.bin) ? BTW. CPU is AMD Ryzen 7 4800h and AMD RADEON integretared gpu

  • This is only a warning not an error. As long your system is working ignore it, until the firmware is integrated in package linux-firmware.

You can get most firmware files from the upstream linux-firmware repository:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/

This person also maintains a GitHub repository of firmware which AMD have made available via ROCm and the proprietary driver, but not uploaded to linux-firmware yet:

https://github.com/Umio-Yasuno/unofficial-amdgpu-firmware-repo

However, the file navi_10.mes does not exist in either of these.

We can see this is a genuinely used firmware file with Linux Kernel commit:

I checked driver amdgpu-pro-20.50-1234664-ubuntu-20.04 which contains amdgpu-dkms-firmware_5.9.10.69-1234664_all which doesn't have the file either.

It seems this file is not publicly available at this time?

Leaving this answer as a Community Wiki so someone can update it when the file appears.

This is what i did:

Uninstall amdgpu-install

sudo amdgpu-install --uninstall
sudo apt-get purge amdgpu-install

Download the latest drivers from AMD website and install

sudo dpkg -i ./amdgpu-install_5.4.50401-1_all.deb

Reinstall amdgpu with this command

sudo amdgpu-install --usecase=workstation --vulkan=pro --opencl=legacy -y --accept-eula

Reboot. Problem solved!

  • If you are not using a specific hardware, that message is not a problem.

  • "not a problem" -> great, then it doesn't have to show up when every single user is patching. Mar 16, 2023 at 1:18
