06-5e-03 is to be blacklisted as well per [1]. [1] https://github.com/intel/Intel-Linux-Processor-Microcode-Data-Files/issues/31#issuecomment-644885826 Verified with microcode_ctl-2.1-73.el7. By default, the microcode update is blocked for 06-4e-03 (the "fail" result indicates the CPU is not running the latest microcode revision) which is good since it prevents the hangs: https://beaker.engineering.redhat.com/recipes/8478437#tasks If I force the update, the system hangs (as seen in the console.log), and I was only able to boot the system by adding dis_ucode_ldr to the kernel args: https://beaker.engineering.redhat.com/recipes/8478438#tasks Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For information on the advisory (microcode_ctl bug fix and enhancement update), and where to find the updated files, follow the link below. If the solution does not work for you, open a new bug report. https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2020:3968 |
