New Intel microcode.dat file just out: microcode-20090330.dat http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProductID=2558&DwnldID=14303&strOSs=39&OSFullName=Linux*&lang=eng. Is it too late for Fedora 12? Any chance of it going in 13? Oops, sorry new microcode just out is: microcode-20090927.dat New microcode-20090927.dat available here: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=18148&lang=eng This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '10'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
Created attachment 345495 [details] Proposed new binary and source packages containing the updated microcode (need to be signed !) Description of problem: Intel has made available a new version of the Intel microcode for all x86/x86-64 Intel processors, therefore the package microcode_ctl needs to be updated with the new microcode. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.17-1.46.fc10 How reproducible: Microcode is generally updated during system boot-up by the script /etc/init.d/microcode_ctl. Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot-up the system 2. wait until /etc/init.d/microcode_ctl is started or: 1. start manually by issuing the command "/etc/init.d/microcode_ctl start" as root. Actual results: An old version of the microcode is loaded (dated 20080910). Expected results: The updated version has been made available by Intel and therefore such version should be loaded instead of the previous one. Additional info: Applies to all Intel hardware platforms supported by Fedora (i386, i686 and x86_64). Also applies to Fedora 9 (and to any previous Fedora release that supports microcode updating).
