[ Let me reorganize the mail chain as it should be, without top-posting.

Basically, you simply put the microcode binaries into /lib/firmware/{amd,intel}-ucode/ and then do as root: $ echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/microcode/reload That's it, no need for special tools. -- Regards/Gruss, Boris. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
