The file in question (microcode_amd_fam16h.bin) does not exist at the time of this post. AMD has not released any microcode patch file for that CPU family. http://www.amd64.org/microcode.html
The amd64-microcode package (not linux-firmware) would contain this file if it existed. As far as what's spitting out the false alarm error message, that would be the microcode patching feature of the kernel. As of kernel 3.13, the error message has been changed to a debug message so users won't have to see it: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/11f918d3e2d3861b6931e97b3aa778e4984935aa The 3.13 kernel should be landing in Ubuntu 14.04/ Trusty by February 1, 2014, and there are 3.13.x release candidates currently available here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ ** Package changed: linux-firmware (Ubuntu) => linux (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium => Low ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1252952 Title: failed to load file amd-ucode/microcode_amd_fam16h.bin To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1252952/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
