Hausen on July 16, 2026, 11:48:51 PMThis message refers to a port that is installed as an upstream dependency but not even used by the os-cpu-microcode-intel plugin. This is not the cause of your issue. And it will just go away, eventually.
What seems to be causing all sorts of boot time freezes is the early loading of the microcode updates. Franco and team are working on it.
