Package: intel-microcode Version: 3.20180703.2 Severity: wishlist I have a system on a USB stick that I boot on various random netcafe computers when travelling. I have another system on a SATA drive that I boot on my desktop and on a spare laptop. I have intel-microcode installed on those systems. When I switch to a new computer the old microcode version is still in the initramfs and so needrestart complains that the wrong microcode is loaded. I have to reconfigure intel-microcode and reboot to get the right microcode loaded at boot time. It would be nice to have support for installing microcode for all CPUs and for multiple specific CPUs into the initramfs and having the initramfs load the correct one at boot.
