Well, even if the CPU doesn't need to be "upgraded" with a new microcode 
it seems to me that something is wrong either with udev or/and with the 
init.d script. Because I can do it by hand.
It worked fine in FC3: actually it told me that microcode was applied, 
and not that it worth applying it :)

It's just a really tiny server. I have it from the rhl7.3 era and I'm 
used to configure through a text editor. For me, it's just easier and 
quicklier. This is more a whininig about some dependencies...
