Zombieload security patched kernels

If the MDS directory isn't present then you should update your kernel to one that is MDS-aware, running an outdated kernel is unwise even if your hardware is immune to the microarchitectural data sampling exploit.

I put the 5.1.2 on and if my mobile broadband continues to function will stay with it.

System: Host: mx17mainlt Kernel: 5.1.2-antix.1-amd64-smp x86_64 bits: 64 Desktop: Xfce 4.12.3

My mobile Broad Band quit up here at the lake running the 5.1.2 kernel so I am back to 4.15.0-1-amd64 x86_64.

Yes, this system is an early gen 1 Ryzen in a MIS B350 GAMING PRO (MS-7A39) motherboard and it crashes in all but 4.9.170 or the 4.10.5-antix.3-amd64-smp x86_64 <--I am running.
I have played with the UEFI Bios settings and have given up trying to get the low power crash bug sorted.

I did build another system - gen 2 Ryzen in a ARock B450M Pro4 motherboard and have not updated the June 2018 UEFI Bios as latest require a windows only update procedure. it has no problems with the latest patched Kernel. Unfortunately could not get antiX-17.4.1_x64 to install in UEFI this time, after having a few problems running antiX-19.a2_x64-full Marielle Franco 6 May 2019
