1. Please describe the problem: I upgrade to 6.6.1-300, dracut sent this message: dracut: Disabling early microcode, because kernel does not support it. CONFIG_MICROCODE_[AMD|INTEL]!=y 2. What is the Version-Release number of the kernel: 6.6.1-300
The 6.6 and newer kernels do not have CONFIG_MICROCODE_AMD or CONFIG_MICROCODE_INTEL as Kconfig options. Dracut still needs to enable firmware: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=e6bcfdd75d53390a67f67237f4eafc77d9772056
I added a comment recently here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2238924#c4 which indicates that the current Fedora 39 dracut-059-15 package fails to enable firmware loading with kernel-6.6.1-300 I imagine that a new dracut release will be forthcoming, but the patch that is supposed to sort this out https://github.com/dracutdevs/dracut/commit/6c80408c8644a0add1907b0593eb83f90d6247b1 is not in the most recent dracut-059-16 for Fedora 40.
Given that whatever is causing this means that people using the 6.6 kernel(s) are booting systems that fail to load security critical microcode patches it does seem that it needs to be classified as High impact.

Deleted and reinstalled kernel-6.6.1-300 after updating to dracut-059-16 on Fedora 39. Both are x86_64 packages. Appears to correctly load new microcode: $ dmesg | grep microcode [ 0.000000] microcode: updated early: 0xd6 -> 0xfa, date = 2023-02-27 [ 1.022577] microcode: Microcode Update Driver: v2.2. I did *not* test this with kernel-6.5.11-300
