Do we update the microcode now or do we wait until the latest microcode_ctl rpm is available and then tackle this issue?

Check with your hardware vendor for BIOS/EFI firmware updates. Apply those.

Thanks for the reply, but you missed what I was asking.  I've already downloaded the appropriate files from the links that Johnny provided in a previous posting. My question is, do we wait until the latest microcode_ctl rpm is installed or do it now?  My concern is that if I do it now the new rpm might undo what I've done.
