The download files are now called firmware blobs which is new-speak for firmware drivers. Recently Intel has created a new download page and new web page layout: Warning messages for future processors Kaby Lake ( kbl), Cannon Lake ( cnl) and Ice Lake ( icl) are gone making life less stressful. Now my Sky Lake ( skl) drivers are up to date and I can try out latest kernel parameters recommended on the internet. Update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-5.0.1-050001-generic I downloaded the blobs (described in next section) and then used: $ sudo cp ~/Downloads/*.bin /lib/firmware/i915/ W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/skl_guc_ver9_33.bin for module i915 ![]() W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/bxt_guc_ver9_29.bin for module i915 W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/kbl_guc_ver9_39.bin for module i915 W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/icl_dmc_ver1_07.bin for module i915 W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/cnl_dmc_ver1_07.bin for module i915 W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/kbl_dmc_ver1_04.bin for module i915 W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/skl_dmc_ver1_27.bin for module i915 Today I received these warning: update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-5.0.1-050001-generic To answer your question you don't need to update drivers for a processor you aren't running but it is nice to see the warnings disappear when you do. ![]()
