Most of this has already been answered, except for your final point. You |
| 9 |
can load more than one initrd at boot, so you can still apply microcode |

title Desktop |

version 5.15.59-gentoo |
| 14 |
linux /vmlinuz-5.15.59-gentoo |
| 15 |
options root=LABEL=blah blah |
| 16 |
initrd /amd-uc.img |
| 17 |
initrd /initramfs-5.15.59-gentoo.img |
| 18 |

I use dracut to create the initrd, which is so straighforward even Dale |
