Fixed in cauldron, using modprobe microcode to replace the removed service. As this only gives a monthly warning in logs, I think it is useless to push an update for that. Do you agree?
Status: ASSIGNED => RESOLVEDResolution: (none) => FIXED
yes, of course, it is ok for me (I do not check cauldron before opening the ticket
I may be wrong, but I still do not see that it works okay: With a completely uptodate cauldron, latest micrococe and microcode_ctl, kernel-server-4.4.3-1 I still get this: microcode-0.20160303-1.mga6.nonfree microcode_ctl-2.1-6.mga6 # journalctl -b |grep micr |grep kern >txt Mar 04 .. kernel: microcode: CPU0 microcode updated early to revision 0x19, date = 2013-06-21 Mar 04 .. kernel: microcode: CPU1 microcode updated early to revision 0x19, date = 2013-06-21 Mar 04 .. kernel: microcode: CPU2 microcode updated early to revision 0x19, date = 2013-06-21 Mar 04 .. kernel: microcode: CPU3 microcode updated early to revision 0x19, date = 2013-06-21 Mar 04 .. kernel: microcode: CPU0 sig=0x106a5, pf=0x2, revision=0x19 Mar 04 .. kernel: microcode: CPU1 sig=0x106a5, pf=0x2, revision=0x19 Mar 04 .. kernel: microcode: CPU2 sig=0x106a5, pf=0x2, revision=0x19 Mar 04 .. kernel: microcode: CPU3 sig=0x106a5, pf=0x2, revision=0x19 Mar 04 .. kernel: microcode: CPU4 sig=0x106a5, pf=0x2, revision=0x19 Mar 04 .. kernel: microcode: CPU5 sig=0x106a5, pf=0x2, revision=0x19 Mar 04 .. kernel: microcode: CPU6 sig=0x106a5, pf=0x2, revision=0x19 Mar 04 .. kernel: microcode: CPU7 sig=0x106a5, pf=0x2, revision=0x19 Mar 04 .. kernel: microcode: Microcode Update Driver: v2.01 <tigran@aivazian.fsnet.co.uk>, Peter Oruba So it seems to use the old version from 2013, not the updated one of 20151106 !?!?

The latest firmwares are often only for the latest hardware. If if have an old CPU, it loads the 2013 version for it , as it is the latest for it. On my 2007 Yonah Celeron, I get : microcode: CPU0 updated to revision 0x44, date = 2010-10-04
Thanks!
Hi guys, just discover update_microcode in my /etc/cron.d, and tried. This is for current Cauldron: update-intel-microcode Error: could not find remote data in http://feeds.downloadcenter.intel.com/rss/?p=483&lang=eng ...exiting May someone rapidly check if this is a real bug or me not knowing how microcode work? cheers.

This is a real bug : intel has removed it's update RSS. We should remove the update script...
