Hi All,

I changed the CPU on an old box from a PIII 600MHz to a PIII 733MHz.  Then 
updated the box and sys-apps/microcode-ctl-1.15 was installed.  Since then 
it's been coming up with errors:
===============================================
# /etc/init.d/microcode_ctl restart
 * Caching service dependencies ...                         [ ok ]
 * Updating microcode ...
/usr/sbin/microcode_ctl: error writing to '/dev/cpu/microcode' errno=22 
(Invalid argument)
/usr/sbin/microcode_ctl: there may be messages from the driver in your system 
log.
 * Failed to update microcode via '/dev/cpu/microcode'
===============================================

the log error is:
===============================================
Mar 25 22:58:04 study1 microcode: Error in the microcode data
Mar 25 22:59:15 study1 microcode: error! Bad data in microcode data file
Mar 25 22:59:15 study1 microcode: Error in the microcode data
Mar 25 22:59:15 study1 rc-scripts: Failed to update microcode 
via '/dev/cpu/microcode'
===============================================

What's the fix to this problem?  I've removed /etc/microcode.dat and remerged 
the package but I am still getting the same error.  Any ideas?
