the directory from above shows with 'ls -al /lib/firmware/i915/' this:

total 156
drwxr-xr-x.  2 root root   4096 Aug 25 10:08 .
drwxr-xr-x. 46 root root  12288 Aug 23 17:28 ..
-rw-r--r--.  1 root root   8824 Aug 23 21:14 skl_dmc_ver1.bin
-rw-r--r--.  1 root root 128320 Aug 23 21:14 skl_guc_ver4.bin

means, that the file from above message isn't there ...

when I do  'cat /etc/rc.d/init.d/* | grep "bxt"' there is nothing shown; 
from where did this cp come from above's error message?

Thanks
