This is because it is a symlink to a versioned blob and the initramfs- tools hook does not dereference symlinks. As the driver is actually loaded from the initramfs, the firmware is missing for the lifetime of the boot, which means that the GPU cannot enter its lowest available power states plus some hotplugging scenarios are broken. This all manifests itself as such in dmesg: [ 0.728803] i915 0000:00:02.0: Direct firmware load for i915/skl_dmc_ver1.bin failed with error -2 [ 0.728817] [drm:i915_firmware_load_error_print [i915]] *ERROR* failed to load firmware i915/skl_dmc_ver1.bin (0) [ Test Case ] After the fix has been applied and the initrd regenerates, the firmware should load successfully after a reboot. [ Regression Potential ] Unlikely, as the fix is part of Ubuntu since Wily.
