It actually looks like CPU should be patched only once because if you reboot it without turning system off next run shows that nothing should be done. There's also no sentence or link directly mentioning or referring to microcode update process. Maybe we should include at least one (in files/pkg-message.in I suppose)? Probably like this: ===> IMPORTANT NOTE: To set up microcode updates you need to alter one of the following: /etc/rc.conf /etc/rc.conf.local Add the following line to enable: microcode_update_enable="YES" You can see this file for a full option list: %%LOCALBASE%%/etc/rc.d/microcode_update Note that any changes to CPU microcodes are temporary and would wear off on cold reboot. You can consult https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/microcode for a complete description. -- Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow.
