Hello everybody,

the official ISO file includes intel-ucode, which requires changes to the bootloader for early microcode. Will we see changes before November release?

I see al least two options: (1) Write two syslinux/gummiboot entries per each current entry, something like "start archlinux for Intel machine (except virtualized enviroment)", "start archlinux for non-Intel machine". (2) Always load intel-ucode.img for all enviroments, should be ignored in cases where does not care.
