--- Comment #18 from Dirk Weber
Summing these up it seems: - early microcode loading is working (tested myself with AMD systems) when the ucode is prepended to the initrd. - "late" microcode loading is working (tested myself with AMD systems) - if the ucode files are available
I have additional results from another system with an AMD E-350 CPU.
In this case "late" microcode update works:
[ 1.301598] microcode: CPU0: patch_level=0x05000028
[ 1.301616] microcode: CPU1: patch_level=0x05000028
[ 1.301780] microcode: Microcode Update Driver: v2.00
