I build a CubieTruck image using the installer script with the following options:
--target=Cubietruck --media=/dev/sdb --norootpass --selinux=OFF --addconsole --resizefs
I booted up the image with a UDB keyboard and VGA monitor attached plus the TTY console.
After I logged into the console as root, I set the root password, and added myself as a user. I then used this userID to log into the Xfce login.
Next I did 'dnf update' Of course this took time to run. But a VERY long time between the cleanup and verify phases. During these I got the message:
Image Name: 4.10.0-0.rc5.git0.1.fc26.armv7hl Created: Wed Jan 25 10:04:59 2017 Image Type: ARM Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed) Data Size: 6054568 Bytes = 5912.66 kB = 5.77 MB Load Address: 00008000 Entry Point: 00008000 Image Name: initramfs Created: Wed Jan 25 10:05:01 2017 Image Type: ARM Linux RAMDisk Image (uncompressed) Data Size: 16525173 Bytes = 16137.86 kB = 15.76 MB Load Address: 00000000 Entry Point: 00000000 dracut: Disabling early microcode, because kernel does not support it. CONFIG_MICROCODE_[AMD|INTEL]!=y
eventually the update finished. The system SEEMS to be working, but what is with this message?
thank you

allwinner automatically outputs to the serial console without a boot argument to set it, that step is not necessary.

What part of the message? the dracut part is a message saying that an x86 only opton for firmware patching is not set. it is just noise on non x86 but could be useful on x86. the other messages are from mkimage, for historical reasons we make wrapped kernels and initramfs's which we do not actually use.

I guess just one of those things you have to know. So far, all I am working with are allwinner boards.
Will add this to my notes.

So basically I just ignore this. But it seemed that dracut ran a very long time before it spit out this information and finished up. Like it was not happy about something and finally gave up.
So I will ignore this and keep plugging along.
thanks

It's not just dracut, it's the install of the contents of the rpm and then the dracut process that generates the new host specific initrd. It's a IO heavy task.
