administrivia: I'm not subscribed to debian-user (but will check the list for answers in any case). CCs to me are fine (even appreciated!).
Today I saw the following errors on one of the machines (an HP EliteBook
laptop) that I upgraded today:
Processing triggers for initramfs-tools (0.133+deb10u1) ...

nor crypto modules. If that's on purpose, you may want to uninstall the
'cryptsetup-initramfs' package in order to disable the cryptsetup

integration and avoid this warning.

I saw messages similar to the Possible missing firmware lines at the end while
upgrading a Dell Inspiron laptop (also running buster) I upgraded earlier in
the day. Unfortunately on that other machine I didn't save the output from the
end of 'apt-get upgrade', though I'm quite certain the end of each line
mentioned "module amdgpu" (or perhaps "module gpuamd"?).
So I have two questions. On the HP laptop I do use cryptsetup (because it's
older and I originally ran stretch on that machine -- only my homedir is
encrypted (not the entire LV as is the Dell laptop, which is newer and got a
virgin buster install recently). Is there anything I need to do in order to
make sure that I don't lose support for cryptsetup with a new kernel on the HP
laptop?
My 2nd question is about the missing firmware. How do I get modules i915 and
amdgpu so that my initramfs will be fully functional on these laptops (i'm fine
with installing nonfree packages).
If there's more information anyone needs to diagnose any of this, please feel
free to ask.
On one laptop (the HP), when I try to run 'apt-get upgrade' again, the
following message appears:
The following packages have been kept back:
linux-headers-amd64 linux-image-amd64
On the other laptop (the Dell), 'apt-get upgrade' produces output that
indicates that only linux-image-amd64 has been kept back.
Thank you so very much in advance for any information.
And as always, thanks tons for the most excellent OS on the planet,
