No. And in the specific case of ath10k, which actually searches for firmware in descending preference order, it is sort of normal to get these annoying logs even if you have the correct firmware package installed. It is being addressed on a future kernel so that such searches can be made silent. > Do you also recommend updating my BIOS? Keep that thing up-to-date, maybe with an one-month delay to let the vendor recall bad updates (they are rare, but it has happened to some), or looking around at forums to see if anyone is complaining of issues before you apply the update. -- Henrique Holschuh

IME, a BIOS update is usually the only way to make ACPI "errors" go away, although it often seems to be the case that the errors reported are themselves erroneous, log noise rather than real trouble. -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.

As deloptes said, this is not related: the "missing firmware" notice means that the operating system has detected a hardware (ath10k, that's the WiFi) which could use some firmware (but perhaps works fine without). The firmware itself is non-free, that's why it is in a separate package. I think deloptes already said how to find/install it. > Do you also recommend updating my BIOS? I don't know.

I.e. it is reporting a "BIOS bug". You could try to report to the system vendor, and ask them for a fix. -- Henrique Holschuh

ACPI Error on boot
hello, I am getting an error on boot in my dual boot Win 10-Debian 9 system, ACPI Error: Cannot release Mutex [PATM], not acquired (20160831/exmutex-393) ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.ECDV._Q66] (Node 9346529f5960), AE_AML_MUTEX_NOT_ACQUIRED (20160831/psparse-543) Could someone tell me what this error means, thanks a lot, Anil
