Hi, thank you for the hints. Actually, I am a bit puzzled why some of you misinterpreted my message as a claim or even a "proof". Since I haven't seen (m)any reports about running Coreboot with a Core2Quad Mobile w/o microcode updates (The Libreboot docs even state that these CPUs are incompatible), I only wanted to report that for me it seems not to crash badly on booting or compiling. No more than that.
Cheers, Daniel [1] https://libreboot.org/docs/install/t500_external.html#cpu_compatibility On Mon, 09 Jan 2017 11:40:33 -0600 Timothy Pearson <tpear...@raptorengineering.com> wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > On 01/09/2017 11:36 AM, ron minnich wrote: > > > > > > On Mon, Jan 9, 2017 at 8:23 AM taii...@gmx.com <mailto:taii...@gmx.com> > > <taii...@gmx.com <mailto:taii...@gmx.com>> wrote: > > > > On 01/08/2017 06:50 PM, Daniel Kulesz via coreboot wrote: > > > > > Hi, > > > > > > for the record: I had the Q9000 (not Q9100) running in my Thinkpad > > T500 for a few weeks now without microcode updates and did not > > encounter any issues so far. > > > > > > absence of proof is not proof of absence. > > > > I would personally be very wary of running Intel CPUs without microcode > updates.
