Aha. That would perhaps explain why my box with
Quad-Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 2372 HE
with revision id 0x100f42 really does not like ucode revision 92 (it resets
itself constantly).

Well, I have my box booting without any ucode update. It would be nice to
have mc_patch_01000086.h public if that's the revision for my cpus. Who do I
ask?

I now have a working tree for Supermicro h8dmr with RB-C2 but it needs a bit
more tweaking and cleaning up. I hope to get that ready soon so I can submit
the patch to the list.

I'll test tonight or tomorrow and let you know how it goes.
Thanks!
