[SOLVED]pacstrap: Failed to create file /sys/devices/system/cpu/...

Here is the full error message, close to the end of pacstrap run :

[ 5232.373601] systemd-tmpfiles[4020]: Failed to create file /sys/devices/system/cpu/microcode/reload: Read-only filesystem
(4/6) Updating the info directory file ...
(5/6) Updating udev Hardware Database ...
(6/6) Rebuilding certificate stores ...
...

Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E4400 / 2 GHz

There isn't much about this issue on Google except for this:

Help appreciated.

Does this cause any actual issues? No one has mentioned that it causes anything, only that it appears on the terminal.

Edit:
Are you getting this error inside a container? This seems to happen when linux-firmware is installed in a container.

I don't see any issues so far, so I guess the error can just be ignored. Thanks for the links with explanations. I have Arch installed on another machine but it has AMD processor. I have no experience with Intel.
