@@ -34,6 +34,13 @@ an additional YAML for [arm64](../examples/packet.arm64.yml) servers
which provide both access to the serial console and via ssh and
configures bonding for network devices via metadata (if supported).
For x86_64 builds for Intel servers we strongly recommend adding
`ucode: intel-ucode.cpio` to the kernel section in the YAML. This
updates the Intel CPU microcode to the latest by prepending it to the
generated initrd file. The `ucode` entry is only recommended when
booting on baremetal. It should be omitted (but is harmless) when
building images to boot in VMs.
**Note**: The update of the iPXE configuration sometimes may take some
time and the first boot may fail. Hitting return on the console to
retry the boot typically fixes this.
