AW: Early microcode not being loaded

[Conrad Kostecki]

> That file is way too big.  In fact, it is exactly the size of the newest ".dat" file from Intel.  The kernel doesn't grok that text format, the microcode updates have to be converted to binary format, first.

Thanks! That's it. I wasn't aware, that I need to convert first the microcode to binary. It's now working fine.

Cheers
