    Hi,

    After microcode update, for signature=0x306a9 upgraded revision should be
    0x1f but dmesg shows wrong revision any ideas what went wrong.

    i have upgraded microcode using apt-get install iucode_tool.

    In intel release notes, came across the below notes which says that it
    should upgraded to 0x1f.

    according to the log, firmware was updated from 0x17 to 0x1b
    which version of intel-microcode do you have installed?
    did you reboot after upgrading the package?

    In intel release notes, came across the below notes which says that it
    should upgraded to 0x1f.
