Re: Intel meltdown/spectre kvm upgrade results

Thx Ivan for sharing, no reboot issues because of problematic Intel
microcode ?

This is just Meltdown fix for now,  and btw congrats on courage to do so

FYI, CentOS/RHEL has already patched everyhing (kernel and qemu/libvirt)
but we are also on Ubuntu..

Cheers

Hi, I don't see spontaneous reboots yet, but have heard that some people
met them with new intel ucode.
