The upstream fix was to downgrade it to the same microcode revision that was shipped in release 20140913 * source: remove superseded upstream data file: 20150107. * initramfs.hook: do not mix arrays and lists. Avoid echo "foo $@", use echo "foo $*" instead. This is unlikely to be expĺoitable, but it makes ShellCheck happier. -- Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@debian.org> Wed, 28 Jan 2015 20:03:20 -0200 ******* both 'date' and 'rev' are not the same.
