I have just built a 4.14.11 kernel with PTI and I can't boot it. I get
a string of acpi errors and then a panic. As far as I can see, it's the
same problem as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1520265.
That was cured by a bios update but I wouldn't date to do a thing like
that.
Looks like I am stuck with 4.12.8 for the time being. The processor is
pretty old, an Intel Core2 Duo. Maybe it's too old to be affected by
Meltdown. I would value any advice.
Have you looked at
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/postlfs/firmware.html ?
I have built microcode.img using those instructions and loaded it at boot
time with an initrd in grub:
menuentry ... {
linux ...
initrd /microcode.img
}
However, I doubt that the recent hardware bugs have been addressed in
firmware for hw that old. I did check for my processors that are only a
few years old and there is nothing new.
