Package: intel-microcode Version: 1.20120606.v2.2 Severity: important Hi,
After upgrading one of our servers from Squeeze to Wheezy, we noticed the cpu microcode was no longer being upgraded. The kernel messages indicated the needed microcode file was not found: 57360.773761] platform microcode: firmware: agent aborted loading intel-ucode/06-1a-05 (not found?)

The newer versions of the intel-microcode.dat file used to generate these firmware files no longer seem to include the microcode update for the following CPU: vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 26 model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5540 @ 2.53GHz stepping : 5 I've downloaded the intel-microcode 0.20100826-1_amd64 version from the squeeze repo and this file still includes the microcode update for this cpu: it updates it from 0x11 to 0x15. Is there a way to merge the older and recent intel-microcode.dat files, so microcode updates are not lost? If I manually add the 06-1a-05 file from the older microcode.dat file to /lib/firmware/intel-ucode, will it get removed by updates from the intel-microcode package and/or iucode_tool?
