[arch-general] Debugging third-party library's segfault if its caused by system update?

[Tom Yan]

(Assuming by GNU bootloader you mean GRUB) In Arch GRUB is patched to
search intel-ucode.img automatically. If you write your own grub.cfg
instead of using grub-mkconfig, you just put the image name in the
same "initrd" line before the main initramfs.
