Direct firmware load for i915/kbl_dmc_ver1_01.bin failed with error -2
I saw an error on booting my new Debian 9.1 Stretch desktop and searching for the error message didn't pull anything useful at first. Here's the error message:
aclark@discus 0 ~ $ sudo dmesg | grep i915 [ 2.705848] i915 0000:00:02.0: firmware: failed to load i915/kbl_dmc_ver1_01.bin (-2) [ 2.705851] i915 0000:00:02.0: Direct firmware load for i915/kbl_dmc_ver1_01.bin failed with error -2 [ 2.705852] i915 0000:00:02.0: Failed to load DMC firmware [https://01.org/linuxgraphics/intel-linux-graphics-firmwares], disabling runtime power management.

Then found this Debian package which looked useful: https://packages.debian.org/sid/firmware-misc-nonfree
Installed that and the machine boots without errors.
