Comment 59 for bug 1364630

I.ve installed the 20140923 microcode update. It solved the buffer underrun problem I was having but not the broken pipe problem. The reason I thought it would help is that I saw a post somewhere saying that this update worked but the previous one (20140624) did not. I've been trying without success to find that post again to see just what it was that this update was supposed to have fixed.

With this update I get the line in dmesg that says

CPU0 microcode updated early to revision 0x29, date = 2013-06-12

The form of the line seems correct but the date looks suspicious.

Meanwhile thes primary problem remains unsolved -- I can't get past the "broken pipe" message. After it comes up I get bounced to a virtual console.
