[mylo]

Hi,

is it sufficient to

• uncomment the exp repo in the sources list
• apt-get update then
• install like piper showed above
• comment the repo again and
• reboot then?

Can i do like this and further d-u as usual, awaiting that kernel via unstable?

[dibl]

Geht gut.

All is working fine...and that's saying something! ;-)

No sense in repeating all from 4.3:

Identical problem now with 4.4

[seasons]

I am receiving this message that does not occur with the previous 4.3.x kernel

Code: [Select]

modprobe: module microcode not found in modules.dep
I tried running 'depmod -a' and rebooting.

Code: [Select]

$ cat amd64-microcode-blacklist.conf
# The microcode module attempts to apply a microcode update when
# it autoloads.  This is not always safe, so we block it by default.
blacklist microcode


$ dpkg-query -S /etc/modprobe.d/amd64-microcode-blacklist.conf
amd64-microcode: /etc/modprobe.d/amd64-microcode-blacklist.conf
EDIT: Maybe amd64-microcode package does not need to have this configuration file in kernel 4.4?

[seasons]

I have determined that the amd64-microcode-blacklist.conf file will no longer be needed:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/9a2bc335f100a0f6ee6392b9f97ac4188d84db1d

I will report a bug against amd64-microcode package. I'm not sure what prompted the maintainer to blacklist the module in the first place, but they will need to find a new workaround.

Should be solved with the new 4.4-rc6 kernel.

Kernel is now 4.4-rc6.
