Public bug reported: On boot I get the text message similiar to "microcode failed to load".
An investigation in the kernel.log shows: Dec 2 14:29:35 user-HP-655-Notebook-PC kernel: [ 11.899267] microcode: failed to load file amd-ucode/microcode_amd.bin The boot of the system is verry slow, but there are not any obvious misbehaviours. This occures since kernel 3.6.x. The kernel 3.5.x serie was not affected as far I can remember.
