1 TITLE: Installing Microcode Update Utility
2 LFS VERSION: lfs-3.0-cr2
3 AUTHOR: Berkem Dincman berkemdin@ixir.com
4 SYNOPSIS: Microcode updates Intel processors at boot.
7 I tried to install the microcode utility on my
8 lfs-3.0-cr2 brandnew installation.
10 First I followed the instructions on the
11 linux/Documentation/Changes file with respect to the
12 microcode utility, in order to create /dev/cpu ...
13 and creating an entry in /etc/modules.conf ...
15 After compiling and installing microcode utility
16 I made some changes to /etc/init.d/microcode_ctl :
17 First try to determine the version number of the lfs
18 installation by looking at /etc/lfs... and
19 interchanging the phrase redhat-version with <lfs-version>
20 in the section that checks for the distribution,
21 in the same section correcting /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
22 to /etc/init.d/functions.
23 Plus erasing the START= daemon ,leaving only
26 Finally I created symlinks in rcx.d directories
30 Now it updates microcode at each boot, nice!
31 Suggestions are welcome, especially with respect to the symlinks...
