From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040120 Description of problem: Intel has released an update to the x86 CPU microcode that is included with FC2 in the kernel-utils-2.4-9.1.131 package (/etc/firmware/microcode.dat). The updated file of microcode can be gotten here: http://www.urbanmyth.org/microcode/microcode_ctl-1.07.tar.gz. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.4-9.1.131 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install FC2, including the kernel-utils-2.4-9.1.131 package. 2. 3. Actual Results: Noted older microcode for x86 CPUs. Expected Results: Distro should include the updated code. Additional info: The microcode fixes (or at least works around) some bugs in specific x86 processors. The application of this update at Fedora/RHEL boot time is desireable because some motherboard vendors don't keep their firmware updated.
The Intel IA32 microcode has been updated again. Get it here: http://www.urbanmyth.org/microcode/microcode_ctl-1.08.tar.gz FYI.
Yet another microcode update: http://www.urbanmyth.org/microcode/microcode_ctl-1.09.tar.gz I opened this bug over 3 months ago, yet it's still marked as New. Helloooooooo, Fedora developers! Anyone home?
