So I will be changing some of my hardware soon which actually only is a switch from intel-CPU to AMD-CPU.
As I don't want to re-install everything, just re-use my current Linux installation, I'm asking myself if I need to do something to make sure it's working. As all CPUs need some microcode to be able to run properly and this is usually included in the initramfs, do I have to add that beforehand for AMD-CPUs? Currently included is "kernel/x86/microcode/GenuineIntel.bin" but nothing for AMD.
Web-search has returned confusing results so far: extend initramfs, do nothing, remove all microcode from initramfs, etc. ...
So, does anyone here have experience with that? Any advice on what to do, what not to do and what to pay special attention?
Thanks Liam.
Well openSuSE does some kind of filtering (as it only includes intel-ucode, not the amd one)... but it does seem to include pretty much all kernel modules...
So - just in case - how do I create a fallback and pack all necessary stuff in it, and how and where do I specify it?
