(In reply to Joerg Schaible from comment #0) > An update to intel-microcode fails if /boot is not mounted. Packages like > grub will auto-mount /boot. Please elaborate what you mean with "packages like grub will auto-mount" because this should be wrong. Since commit https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=2d90570e81469bf75b2d4a4275151e282632c18e (bug 532264), mount-boot.eclass is no longer able to mount /boot.
