It seems that this causes a weird looping on an HP mini 2133 (VIA C-7 processor). modprobe returns "No such device" as the system does not support microcode loading but when you listen to events with udevadm monitor there's an infinite loop of "/module/microcode" ADD/REMOVE. So microcode_ctl is nearly always running according to top, hogging the machine. Do you have any idea what can cause this? Here's the udev rule: KERNEL="cpu[0-9]*", ACTION="add", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe microcode" KERNEL="microcode", ACTION="add", RUN+="/sbin/microcode_ctl -Qu" The kernel is 2.6.37. -- Pardus Linux http://www.pardus.org.tr/eng
