Description of problem:

Both 2.1-2 and 2.1-1 give this problem:

# systemctl restart microcode_ctl.service 

Job for microcode_ctl.service failed. See 'systemctl status microcode_ctl.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.

# systemctl status microcode_ctl.service

But when I revert to 1.17-15 it works okay:

# systemctl restart microcode_ctl.service 

Job for microcode_ctl.service failed. See 'systemctl status microcode_ctl.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.
