So, it is a bug somewhere!If im not wrong, that is normal, it refer to some firmware that your system did not have because your hardward does not need it being part of some architecture like amd64, i368, etcstrapicarus, you are half right. i915 is a driver for Intel GPUs. It supports a bunch of different chipsets, all with different firmware. Warnings may appear if the driver is aware of firmware required for certain chipsets but can't find it in installed firmware packages. These warnings can be ignored if the computer doesn't have that chipset because the firmware is not needed.Yeah you fine, clearly you use x86_64 and i368 capable, no need for i915.
It's nothing to do with CPU architecture.
In this case the warnings seem to result from a bug. The kernel module is aware of some particular Intel hardware, but the firmware had not been added to the firmware package.

The messages should disappear when firmware-nonfree is updated, and will not affect performance in any way if that particular chipset is not in use.
My system is working fine, I have no issues.
IT is updating/upgrading and working normaly.
Thank you all for all your inputs.
I am really enjoying Debian Testing.
(the beauty of a rolling release -that I won't ever need the hassles of a fresh install or upgrade procedures, sorry, a bit lazy old man here- and the beauty of the stability of Debian - especially with "ListBugs" installed and configured to exclude serious bugs)
