Applying Intel CPU microcode update

Thu Feb 4 10:02:12 UTC 2010

I often use Rawhide in virt-manager using KVM. My host machine is Fedora
12. Recently I noticed that booting Rawhide takes ages. After more careful
examination I found out that "Applying Intel CPU microcode update" line
pauses the system exactly for 1 minute. Then the boot continues. I don't
know if it is a problem in Rawhide or in some update of libvirt.

Anyone seen similar problem?
