--- Begin Message ---Package: dracut Version: 045+132-1 Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: h...@debian.org dracut supports early loading of microcode but makes assumptions about paths that do not match the packaging in Debian. Hence the microcode updates are skipped altogether on platforms where the intel-microcode package requests early loading (e.g. the Haswell machine I'm typing this on). I'd suggest the following three changes, which make it work on my machine: 1) Add the microcode paths to fw_dir. Given that Debian does not version its firmware by kernel and given that we don't seem to ship anything in /lib/firmware/updates either archive-wide, this would mean this in 10-debian.conf: fw_dir=/lib/firmware:/lib/firmware/intel-ucode:/lib/firmware/amd-ucode This adds the subdirectories to dracut's search path for microcode, as it expects the Intel fragments and AMD's .bin files in the base of the firmware directory. 2) Activate early loading by configuration. early_microcode defaults to "no" so we need to set this in 10-debian.conf: early_microcode=yes 3) Add a patch to dracut.sh (/usr/bin/dracut) because intel-microcode uses the .initramfs suffix for the ucode files where it requests early loading. Given that hostonly is the default for dracut, only including microcode for the machine it is currently running on, we need to add a star to the pattern it looks for: Index: dracut-045+132/dracut.sh =================================================================== --- dracut-045+132.orig/dracut.sh +++ dracut-045+132/dracut.sh @@ -1649,7 +1649,7 @@ if [[ $early_microcode = yes ]]; then _src="*" dinfo "*** Constructing ${ucode_dest[$idx]} ****" if [[ $hostonly ]]; then - _src=$(get_ucode_file) + _src="$(get_ucode_file)*" [[ $_src ]] || break [[ -r $_fwdir/$_fw/$_src ]] || break fi Kind regards and thanks Philipp Kern
