Enabling Intel microcode updates
|
||
|
|
||
|
Microcode must be loaded by the bootloader.
|
||
|
These updates must be enabled by adding /boot/early-ucode.cpio as the *FIRST* initrd in the bootloader config file.
|
||
|
This is in addition to the normal initrd file, if you are using one.
|
||
|

GRUB2

|

|
- Automatic method
|
||
|
|
||
|
grub-mkconfig will automatically detect the microcode update and configure GRUB appropriately.
|
||
|
After installing the intel-ucode package, regenerate the GRUB config to activate loading the microcode update by running:
|
||
|
|
||
|
# grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Manual method
|
||
|
|
||
|
Alternatively, manually add /boot/early-ucode.cpio to grub.cfg, so
|
||
|
it looks similar to below:
|
||
|
|
||
|
echo 'Loading Linux 4.15.3 ...'
|
||
|
linux /boot/vmlinuz-4.15.3 root=/dev/sdb1 ro rootfstype=ext4 rootfstype=ext4 quiet
|
||
|
echo 'Loading intel microcode ...'
|
||
|
initrd /boot/early-ucode.cpio $OTHER_INITRD
|
||
|
|
||
|
You'll have to do it for every kernel you have,
|
||
|
so the use of the automagic method is reccomended.
