I would like to have a common model to load microcodes (and in the new boot procedure), but I've lost the status of such project, I think things for 2.7. Any news? Is microcode_ctl still maintained? I've made some correction/extentions but now new from the maintainer. Intel give us the new microcode? I had contact with the new contact/maintainer/? person in Intel, but still no new microcode since summer 2001. So maybe before changing the driver, could you check the Intel vision about Linux and microcode? ciao giacomo
