Comment 1 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-03-04 14:04:44 UTC 
That looks like a problem with the installed kernel/modules/firmware, not gentoo-sources. Is sys-apps/microcode-data installed? Are the microcode images in /lib/firmware accessible?

thanks your very much for the advice.


emerging sys-apps/microcode-data solved the problem. but why this package is not emerge by basic system?
Comment 4 Mike Pagano gentoo-dev 2014-03-07 19:23:56 UTC 
Because not everyone needs it.
