[SOLVED] RDSEED32 is broken - disabling the CPUID -- updating kernel (howTo)?

Hello ,

have since days encountered this error on startup
like

RDSEED32 is broken. Disabling the corresponding CPUID

soemwhere it has been posted that could be solved by bBIOS update, which however did not help in my case (latest Betta-Bios applied).

now wonder if could update the kernel via excalibur-backports or would this do it automatically?

have added excalibur-backports to sources.list?
and now however with "sudo apt update" no packages get updated.

do i need to carry out something manually?

these are the linux images offered on the sistem - maybe you can indicate which one is the proper.

sudo apt -t excalibur-backports install linux-image-
Display all 107 possibilities? (y or n)

Re: [SOLVED] RDSEED32 is broken - disabling the CPUID -- updating kernel (howTo)?

I don't see it on your list, but I do find it with # apt -t excalibur-backports search linux-image-

apt -t excalibur-backports install linux-image-amd64

That should pull in new kernels from backports if they show up. I don't think they get patched as fast as the main kernels, but I could be wrong about that.

Re: [SOLVED] RDSEED32 is broken - disabling the CPUID -- updating kernel (howTo)?

thanks, it pulled some latest 6.18.5-bpo, this has solved the issue it seems.

EDIt: it seem there are however other warning present, like "warning - failed to measure (something like 0000 etc)" it does however no longer show up later on the text messages during boot, only at initial screen.
