I tested your patches on both boxes on top 4.7-rc1 and they work just fine for me. The test was done as before: CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL=y CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="intel-ucode/...." ( to match my CPU ) CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD=y Kernel booted with initrd *without* grub microcode. If you wish any other tests please let me know. Regards
