https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=784220 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=784220#c4 --- Comment #4 from Dirk Weber <d_werner@gmx.net> 2013-02-15 17:45:52 UTC --- I have to correct my comment 1 from 2012-11-14 06:50:10 UTC. After browsing my logfiles (/var/log/messages* and /var/log/zypp/history) I realized the problem already happened with kernel-desktop-3.4.6-2.10.1.x86_64, only I did not notice it then. According to my logfiles the problem started right after the update from openSUSE 12.1 to 12.2. It did not happen with openSUSE 12.1, kernel-desktop-3.1.10-1.16.1_x86_64 The update was done using zypper dup. In messages* are sometimes error log entries of udev just before the entry that the microcode kernel module is inserted: Feb 13 17:42:03 rain2 udevd[443]: error: can not open '/sys/devices/platform/microcode/firmware/microcode/loading' Feb 13 17:42:03 rain2 [374]: Inserted module 'microcode' There is no clear dependency of this logged udev error and the success of microcode updating. Sometimes but not always when the udev error is logged both cores are updated. Maybe there is a timing issue/race condition during the boot process. The update of CPU0 fails more often then the update of CPU1. Successful update of both cores during system startup is rare. -- 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.
