Intel Skylake Scalable Platform CPU models that belong to Workstation and HEDT
|
|
|
81200a |
(Basin Falls) segment (SKL-W/X, family 6, model 85, stepping 4) had reports
|
|
|
81200a |
of system hangs on reboot when revision 0x2000065 of microcode, that was included
|
|
|
81200a |
from microcode-20191112 update up to microcode-20200520 update, was applied[1].
|
|
|
81200a |
In order to address this, microcode update to the newer revision had been
|
|
|
81200a |
disabled by default on these systems, and the previously published microcode
|
|
|
81200a |
revision 0x2000064 is used by default for the OS-driven microcode update.
|
|
|
81200a |
|
|
|
81200a |
Since revision 0x2006906 (included with the microcode-20200609 release)
|
|
|
81200a |
it is reported that the issue is no longer present, so the newer microcode
|
|
|
81200a |
revision is enabled by default now (but can be disabled explicitly; see below).

The information regarding disabling microcode update is provided below.
|
|
|
078ac8 |
|
|
|
81200a |
To disable usage of the newer microcode revision for a specific kernel
|
|
|
81200a |
version, please create a file "disallow-intel-06-55-04" inside
|
|
|
078ac8 |
/lib/firmware/<kernel_version> directory, run
|
|
|
81200a |
"/usr/libexec/microcode_ctl/update_ucode" to update firmware directory
|
|
|
81200a |
used for late microcode updates, and run "dracut -f --kver <kernel_version>"
|
|
|
81200a |
so initramfs for this kernel version is regenerated, for example:
|
|
|
078ac8 |
|
|
|
81200a |
touch /lib/firmware/3.10.0-862.9.1/disallow-intel-06-55-04
|
|
|
078ac8 |
/usr/libexec/microcode_ctl/update_ucode
|
|
|
078ac8 |
dracut -f --kver 3.10.0-862.9.1
|
|
|
078ac8 |
|
|
|
81200a |
To disable usage of the newer microcode revision for all kernels, please create
|
|
|
81200a |
file "/etc/microcode_ctl/ucode_with_caveats/disallow-intel-06-55-04", run
|
|
|
81200a |
"/usr/libexec/microcode_ctl/update_ucode" to update firmware directories
|
|
|
81200a |
used for late microcode updates, and run "dracut -f --regenerate-all"
|
|
|
81200a |
so initramfs images get regenerated, for example:
|
|
|
078ac8 |
|
|
|
078ac8 |
mkdir -p /etc/microcode_ctl/ucode_with_caveats
|
|
|
81200a |
touch /etc/microcode_ctl/ucode_with_caveats/disallow-intel-06-55-04
|
|
|
078ac8 |
/usr/libexec/microcode_ctl/update_ucode
|
|
|
078ac8 |
dracut -f --regenerate-all
|
|
|
