@Michal, can we add the microcode to the initrd creation process for oS? dracut does this already. At least for Intel the "early microcode update feature is implemented", for AMD it needs to be double checked. Iirc I at least stumbled over some kernel code, that enables early microcode loading for AMD.
Is there some deeper meaning that the binaries and their signatures are not in the same package? Yes. I asked Intel and AMD to submit their microcodes to the kernel-firmware project/git repo for the future. Like that they do not have to open bugs every some months for all distros they would like to see their microcodes included, but can simply submit their stuff to where it belongs: kernel-firmware git repo. And all distros can pick it up and add things to their supported products with all the other up-to-date firmware in there.
Unsatisfied dependencies for microcode_ctl-1.17-142.5.1.x86_64: microcode_ctl is obsoleted by (installed) This looks weird? Did you do a fresh 13.1 (RC1 or earlier?) installation and
While AMD did adjust their license and is submitting their microcodes to kernel-firmware now, Intel does and will not, due to license issues. It looks like the microcode updating mechanism works in general, but we have a higher level problem at packaging/installer level? then update (zypper dup) to GM? Then this may simply be an issue that you installed a devel version when later the microcode_ctl package got split. Or was this a 12.3 to 13.1 update? Hm, I remember a bug where zypper/rpm did not detect correctly whether firmware package has to be installed. Maybe you installed at that time? Anyway, if we want to root cause this, it makes sense to install a fresh 13.1 GM to make sure there are no "devel release only" problems we are hunting. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
