Does the problem still happens if you create an ice.pkg link to the ice-1.3.16.0.pkg.xz file? I'm trying to determine if this is a simple symlink issue or if it's another one. If it doesn't work, please try to uncompress the ice-1.3.16.0.pkg.xz file to ice-1.3.16.0.pkg and recreate the ice.pkg link to point to it.

Need to unxz ice-1.3.16.0.pkg.xz and make the soft link --- The way Rhel-8 is doing.

The same issue still there under 5.14.0-0.rc2.23.el9.x86_64:

2021-07-27T02:48:41.862Z|00305|dpdk|ERR|ice_load_pkg(): failed to open file: /lib/firmware/intel/ice/ddp/ice.pkg

Don't know why the bug is so hard to fix --- look at Rhel 8 please.

It appears the problem here is that dpdk does not have support for loading compressed firmware files.
The message above seems to come from dpdk. I was not able to find any reason in that the kernel would
not be able to load the compressed file through the symlink. I did some search and found this:
https://inbox.dpdk.org/dev/CAJFAV8wznKKERCGqW0YmD-8=UtGXX6P=MU55Q68uVXR6FLmZgQ@mail.gmail.com/T/

Seems work is under way to make dpdk able to load compressed files. Thus there is nothing to change
in linux-firmware here. I'm moving this bug to dpdk component.
