- Now you *really* need to add the microcode files to the initrd, preferable implemented in the "early microcode" form : https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/x86/early-microcode.txt , why ?
Only Intel can come up with such a process... Anyway, I have not read the kernel code: Are really two cpio archives required or is it enough to have a kernel/x86/microcode directory in the existing cpio archive? To verify this: mkdir /dev/shm/$$ cd $_ zcat /boot/initrd | cpio -i mkdir -vp kernel/x86/microcode cp -avt $_ /some/firmare/file.bin find . ! -name "*~" | cpio -H newc --create | gzip > /boot/initrd.mc If thats really enough, the package which contains the microcode should provide a setup-cpu_microcode.sh to populate the files to the initrd. -- 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.
