Summary: microcode_ctl spell fails due to existing
/dev/cpu/microcode ( with fix )
Product: Codex
Version: stable grimoire
Platform: x86
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: kernels
AssignedTo: sm-grimoire-bugs AT lists.ibiblio.org
ReportedBy: henkjans_bagger AT hotmail.com


Installation of microcode_ctl fails with the following error-message

---
install -s -m 755 microcode_ctl /usr/sbin
install -m 644 intel-ia32microcode-23April2007.txt /etc/microcode.dat
install -m 644 microcode_ctl.8 /usr/man/man8
gzip -9f /usr/man/man8/microcode_ctl.8
mkdir -p /dev/cpu
mknod /dev/cpu/microcode c 10 184
mknod: `/dev/cpu/microcode': File exists
make: *** [device] Error 1
---

I assume this error is because the current kernel (2.6.33) already creates
this
device-node when enabling the relevant kernel-option.

The obvious fix of simply removing the "make devices" line from the INSTALL
file makes it work for me.
