I thought about the fact I have a merged /usr now which means everything is in /usr. I hadn't thought of microcode being needed tho. How do I find out if there is any microcode being loaded on my system? I do have the package installed, read somewhere that it only loads something if it is needed so no real harm in having it installed even if nothing is being used today. It could prove helpful if something is being used later on tho. Is there somewhere I can look or some command I can run to see if I load any microcode that it needs to access while booting but before /var is mounted? Why isn't the microcode put in /usr or something anyway? Dale :-) :-)
