   @jxself just booted your l-libre 3.4.0 deb. Needing the AppArmour patch y'll know about. But the AMD CPU microcode has been removed. Really?

     @leny2010 AppArmor patches already applied in 3.4. Patches obtained from Launchpad. Microcode? Yes, it's removed - see http://ur1.ca/9fd7z

     @jxself I'll get the source. There's a big difference between CPU microcode and 'firmware.'

     @jxself It is CPU microcode as in a repair to the CPU's definition of how it executes instructions. IMHO Hardware, not software.

     @leny2010 - You'll want to raise the microcode issue with @lxoliva because he's in charge of deblobbing the kernel named Linux.

     @jxself GIK == The GNU Interim Kernel do you mean? :-)

     @leny2010 disabling nonfree mc loading is not new, but recent linux changes to AMD mc loading made it verbose
