Subject: [PATCH] x86: print microcode revision on PEBs errors
Date: Wed, 30 Oct 2013 21:31:50 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20131030193150.GA7765@redhat.com> (raw)
On Sandy bridge CPUs with old microcode, PEBs
fails and suggests a microcode update.
Print out the required and the actual revision to
make it easier to figure out what's wrong.
