The above wheezy-backports version of intel-microcode depends on initramfs-tools, which conflicts with dracut. I've switched back to the wheezy version of intel-microcode for now. Thank you. Meanwhile, I have looked into what is required for dracut support. dracut in wheezy has no support at all for early initramfs, you *must* use the stable intel-microcode packages. The fact that the updated backported packages refuse to install alongside with dracut is a good thing. dracut in jessie/unstable has very basic support for early initramfs, which must be manually enabled. It is a really dumb thing, too: it will bloat the early initramfs with the entire set of Intel microcode updates, but it should work. dracut seems to be a monolythic, unextendable, unmodifiable shell script. It is not modular, and it doesn't look like it has modular configuration. It has no hook functionality. The only way to enhance or modify its behavior is to modify that shell script itself. I will look into what is required so that early initramfs microcode support could be enabled by default in dracut. -- One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
