Ubuntu: Automated patching for the Linux kernel

Ubuntu

Ubuntu’s GRUB bootloader is initialized. It is aware of Windows partitions on installed disk drives, and also aware of installed Linux kernels. If the OS has a newer CPU microcode, it is applied at this time via initrd. /dev/initrd is a read-only block device owned by root:disk, with mode 0400 (read access by root only), and assigned major number 1 and minor number 250.
