I have a valid microcode file which loads successfully with
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/microcode/reload
Therefore I do not think the version of the microcode file is the problem, even
if seems to be a leftover of 12.3
I read arch/x86/kernel/microcode_amd_early.c, and according to this the
microcode must be prepended to the initrd in a file
kernel/x86/microcode/AuthenticAMD.bin
"Microcode patch container file is prepended to the initrd in cpio format."
I will try to produce an initrd according to the procedure described in
Documentation/x86/early-microcode.txt
Still confusing is that there are 2 microcode files for AMD and lots for Intel.
At least for AMD it is easy to choose the correct one.
