Public bug reported: 1st bug: 1.1 The Folder Mismatch: The linux-firmware package installs to /lib/firmware/amdnpu/1502_00/, but the amdxdna driver in Kernel 7.0.0-15 searches for /lib/firmware/amdnpu/17f0_10/. 1.2 Firmware stored as compressed zstd, amdxdna driver unable to load it.
$ ls /lib/firmware/amdnpu/1502_00/ npu.sbin.1.5.2.380.zst npu.sbin.1.5.5.391.zst npu.sbin.zst npu_7.sbin.zst 2nd bug: The Protocol Break: The package provides 1.5.5 (Protocol Major 7) by default. The stock kernel driver (v0.7) only supports Protocol Major 6. The Symptom: Loading the provided 1.5.5 firmware causes a hard boot hang with the error "aie2_hw_start: hardware is not alive" Working Version: Mention that you manually confirmed 1.1.2.64 works as a transitional bridge, but the package is missing this or better-matched versions. fix: mkdit -p /lib/firmware/amdnpu/17f0_10 wget https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/plain/amdnpu/17f0_10/npu.sbin.1.1.2.64 -O /lib/firmware/amdnpu/17f0_10/npu.sbin [NOK] status after 25.10->26.04 upgrade: $ snap run lemonade-server.flm validate [FLM] Using custom model list path: /snap/lemonade-server/165/usr/share/flm/model_list.json [Linux] Kernel: 7.0.0-15-generic [ERROR] No NPU device found.
