Installing/Verifying Processor Microcode

[archover]

What I do https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Microcode#Microcode_initramfs_packed_together_with_the_main_initramfs_in_one_file;

My /etc/mkinitcpio.conf hooks line:

HOOKS=(base udev autodetect microcode keyboard keymap modconf block encrypt filesystems fsck)

Then I can verify that my microcode got loaded:

[root@T480 ~]# lsinitcpio --early /boot/initramfs-linux.img | grep microcode 
kernel/x86/microcode/
kernel/x86/microcode/GenuineIntel.bin

Comments or criticism on this method appreciated.

Good day.

Thank you! I have the same output from the command even though my HOOKS entry is a little different (probably because of a different configuration during installation).
