This kernel doesn't handle early microcode load properly (it tries to load
microcode even in virtualised environment, which may lead to a panic on some
hypervisors), thus the microcode files have not been added to the initramfs
image.  Please update your kernel to one of the following:
  RHEL 7.5: kernel-3.10.0-862.14.1 or newer;
  RHEL 7.4: kernel-3.10.0-693.38.1 or newer;
  RHEL 7.3: kernel-3.10.0-514.57.1 or newer;
  RHEL 7.2: kernel-3.10.0-327.73.1 or newer.
Please refer to /usr/share/doc/microcode_ctl/caveats/intel_readme
and /usr/share/doc/microcode_ctl/README.caveats for details.
