This can't work - did you look at the command line documentation?
You can't specify a file name here - there's no file system driver
inside the hypervisor, and hence it can't read files (it instead has
to rely on the boot loader bringing those into memory for it).
Get with the times :-) . Under EFI it most definitely wants a file-name.
Not entirely sure about the file FORMAT though.

  From xen-command-line.html
   "Note further that use of this option has an unspecified effect when
used with xen.efi (there the concept of modules doesn't exist, and the
blob gets specified via the ucode=<filename> config file/section entry;
see EFI configuration file description).

  From efi.html

   "ucode=<filename>

      Specifies a CPU microcode blob to load. (x86 only)
This needs to go in your xen.cfg file (alongside kernel= ramdisk= etc), not
on the xen command line.

Ian.


Ahh (face + palm) . It dawned on me right after I sent my previous. Now I DO get some acknowledgement of microcode.bin in the console-log, but /proc/cpuinfo still reports microcode : 0x31, so it seems stale microcode is not the issue :-/
