I just realized you're still using a fairly old snapshot.  More recent 
snapshots will interpret the the error code and show you exactly which 
files name(s) were requested.

FYI, in your case with that snapshot, code=-2 means that the file wasn't 
found.

I don't see how changing something in the kernel could affect where 
firmware files might be searched for, since the search path is a userland 
thing.  I still think something has changed for you in userland.  But in 
any case, good luck...
