Migration of filefield fields reports that this requires filefield module, even though its functionality was moved into core!

Manual solutions:

Are the file / image modules enabled? Since these are new modules, they may not be enabled in your site after the upgrade. Be sure to enable them.

Ensure the widget_type and widget_module in the database are set properly. An example query to fix the 'llamas_pajamas' field is:

update {content_node_field_instance}    set widget_type = 'imagefield_widget', widget_module = 'imagefield'  where field_name = 'llamas_pajamas';

Similar issue. Error message:

Missing field module: 'filefield'. This field cannot be migrated.

Field name: field_video

Field type: filefield

Content type: Video

This field is handled in D6 by the "Video" module ("Allows Creation of CCK Video Fields"). On the migrated site, "video 7.x-2.15" is installed and enabled, but the field can not be migrated for whatever reason.

And:

Missing field module: 'emvideo'. This field cannot be migrated.

Field name: field_emvideo

Field type: Embedded Video (= Embedded Video Field)

Content type: Video

In D7, an "Embedded Media Field 7.x-1.0-alpha2+1-dev" exists; it "provides an embedded media widget for file fields" and depends on the "media" and "file_entity" modules. Bundled with "media" module in version 7.x-2.30 is a sub module called "media_migrate_file_types"; the latter one seems not to have an UI, but can be enabled with Drush. However, both fields are still listed as "Unavailable Fields" at ./admin/structure/content_migrate.
