   microcode: CPU1 no microcode found! (sig=619, pflags=0)"

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Reboot machine.
2. Type "dmesg".
3. Look at messages issued by microcode update utility.

Expected Results:  There should be a message about the successful update of the 
microcode or not depending of the CPU revision.

Additional info: 

Same behaviour observed on an IBM Thinkpad 600e.

fixed in an update ?
also what OS are you running? Fedora ? RHEL ?

Comment 2 Joachim Frieben 2004-10-28 06:47:29 UTC
The bug report had originally been posted for FC1 test 1. There has
never been any update for this package, neither for the final release
of FC1 nor among the released updates.
The bug was definitely resolved as of kernel-utils-2.4-9.1.131 after
upgrading to FC2.
