i copied over the HAWAII drivers from here -> http://people.freedesktop.org/~agd5f/radeon_ucode/
so when i run: update-initramfs -k all -u
it no longer complains about the HAWAII firmware not installed. was this the proper way to do this?
Yes. You can ignore the hawaii errors though since you aren't using a hawaii board.
