CPU microcode is the latest known available version: NO
I'm running Slack 15.0, which has at this moment kernel-firmware-20230725_b6ea35f-noarch-1.
I thought the amd microcode in it, would be the latest. But when I run spectre-meltdown-checker.sh I get this back at the terminal; * CPU microcode is the latest known available version: NO (latest version is 0xa201025 dated 2021/10/14 according to builtin firmwares DB v273+i20230808+b6bd) This is how I installed and setup the amd microcode; Code:
mkdir -p /tmp/amd-ucode/kernel/x86/microcode Code:
mkinitrd -c -F -k 5.15.131 -f ext4 -r /dev/sda1 -m ext4 -u -o /boot/initrd.gz Code:
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg hmm |

What Petri said or append to the mkinitrd command:
-P /boot/amd-ucode.img |
Yes my /etc/mkinitrd.conf;
Code:
MICROCODE_ARCH="/boot/amd-ucode.img" P.S. After posting this, I noticed there was a new BIOS update for my mobo, so I flashed it. Now spectre-meltdown-checker.sh says; CPU microcode is the latest known available version: YES |
That's a desktop or server CPU? Some AMD desktop models won't get microcode updates until october.

Where do you get spectre-meltdown-checker.sh?

It's a desktop, and that's the Github URL I got the spectre-meltdown-checker from that @denydias posted.
Anyhow, I guess I'm good now with the new BIOS for my mobo... |
