I'm not sure if they've all been eliminated. However, these are only warnings and shouldn't cause anything to fail, so I'd be very surprised if they are causing the installer to crash.

Title:
  update-initramfs complains of missing amdgpu firmware files

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in linux-firmware package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in linux source package in Bionic:
  Invalid
Status in linux-firmware source package in Bionic:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  SRU Justification

  Impact: With 5.3 update-initramfs reports several missing amdgpu
  firmware files:

  update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-5.3.0-19-generic
  W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/amdgpu/vega20_ta.bin for module amdgpu
  W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/amdgpu/raven_kicker_rlc.bin for module amdgpu
  W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/amdgpu/navi10_mes.bin for module amdgpu

  Of these, only raven_kicker_rlc.bin has been added to upstream linux-
  firmware.

  Fix: Add raven_kicker_rlc.bin to linux firmware, and remove the other
  files from modinfo for amdgpu.

  Test Case: Once fixed, the warnings from update-initramfs should be
  gone.

  Regression Potential: Adding a missing firmware is unlikely to break
  any working hardware. Removing the other missing files from modinfo
  will not cause regressions either, however if the firmware is added
  later update-initramfs will not add the files to the initramfs until
  the firmware is added back to modinfo.
