My Athlon XP 2600+ system gives me this every boot with no apparent problems. I've seen this with other non-Intel CPUs too. I suspect this is NOT what is causing your boot delay.
Just my $.02!

The message comes from (on one of my systems) /etc/init.d/microcode_ctl
which is part of the kernel-utils package.
I started getting this message when I upgraded to CentOS 4. My installed kernel-utils is version 2.4-13.1.66. Is this meant for version 2.4 kernels and if so, is there a version for 2.6 kernels? I don't see anything listed with "yum list available"
