I get this error message on boot: Applying Intel IA32 Microcode update: microcode: CPU0 no microcode found! (sig=68a, pflags=32) It hope this message is not present on final; it may be scary for a newbie. We had an error like this in pre-8.0 betas, and IIRC the fix was just to pretend it had worked.

I'm still seeing this message on a P4 machine running kernel-bigmem-2.4.20-2.24.
It's fixed in phoebe2. The fix is in kernel-utils, not in the kernel package itself.
