TITLE: Installing Microcode Update Utility LFS VERSION: lfs-3.0-cr2 AUTHOR: Berkem Dincman berkemdin@ixir.com SYNOPSIS: Microcode updates Intel processors at boot. HINT: I tried to install the microcode utility on my lfs-3.0-cr2 brandnew installation. First I followed the instructions on the linux/Documentation/Changes file with respect to the microcode utility, in order to create /dev/cpu ... and creating an entry in /etc/modules.conf ... After compiling and installing microcode utility I made some changes to /etc/init.d/microcode_ctl : First try to determine the version number of the lfs installation by looking at /etc/lfs... and interchanging the phrase redhat-version with in the section that checks for the distribution, in the same section correcting /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions to /etc/init.d/functions. Plus erasing the START= daemon ,leaving only START= Finally I created symlinks in rcx.d directories rc2-5 S800microcode rc0,1,6 K200microcode Now it updates microcode at each boot, nice! Suggestions are welcome, especially with respect to the symlinks... berkem
