Intel Skulake Scalable Platform CPU models that belong to Workstation and HEDT |
|
(Basin Falls) segment (SKL-W/X, family 6, model 85, stepping 4) have reports |
|
of system hangs on reboot when revision 0x2000065 of microcode, that is included |
|
since microcode-20191112 update, is applied[1]. In order to address this, |
|
microcode update to this revision has been disabled by default on these systems, |
|
and the previously published microcode revision 0x2000064 is used by default |
|
for the OS-driven microcode update. |

The information regarding enforcing microcode update is provided below. |
|
|
|
To enforce usage of the 0x2000065 microcode revision for a specific kernel |
|
version, please create a file "force-intel-06-55-04" inside |
|
/lib/firmware/<kernel_version> directory, run |
|
"/usr/libexec/microcode_ctl/update_ucode" to add it to firmware directory |
|
where microcode will be available for late microcode update, and run |
|
"dracut -f --kver <kernel_version>", so initramfs for this kernel version |
|
is regenerated and the microcode can be loaded early, for example: |
|
|
|
touch /lib/firmware/3.10.0-862.9.1/force-intel-06-55-04 |
|
/usr/libexec/microcode_ctl/update_ucode |
|
dracut -f --kver 3.10.0-862.9.1 |
|
|
|
After that, it is possible to perform a late microcode update by executing |
|
"/usr/libexec/microcode_ctl/reload_microcode" or by writing value "1" to |
|
"/sys/devices/system/cpu/microcode/reload" directly. |
|
|
|
To enforce addition of this microcode for all kernels, please create file |
|
"/etc/microcode_ctl/ucode_with_caveats/force-intel-06-55-04", run |
|
"/usr/libexec/microcode_ctl/update_ucode" for enabling late microcode updates, |
|
and "dracut -f --regenerate-all" for enabling early microcode updates: |
|
|
|
mkdir -p /etc/microcode_ctl/ucode_with_caveats |
|
touch /etc/microcode_ctl/ucode_with_caveats/force-intel-06-55-04 |
|
/usr/libexec/microcode_ctl/update_ucode |
|
dracut -f --regenerate-all |
|
|
|
Please refer to /usr/share/doc/microcode_ctl/README.caveats for additional |
|
information.
