Isn't the microcode update being done during kernel boot? > I rarely have a system set up with /usr on the same fs as / On my system it lives in /etc, but you can place it anywhere you want, see the part below which I copied from the microcode README *************************************************************************** >>> updating every system boot *************************************************************************** A simple script has been included for systems to apply the microcode update on boot. The script is a good illustration on how to use the utility but it may be useful to run through some basic usage. Without using the provided startup script, to update your microcode and free the internal buffer on every system boot you'll need to add a line like the following to /etc/rc.d/rc.local (where prefix indicates the location of the binary) prefix/microcode_ctl -iu or to specify another microcode file prefix/microcode_ctl -if /etc/microcode.dat Simple as that.
