After upgrading linux from 3.3.8-1 to 3.4.2-2 and restarting the system there appears the follow errors during loading of udev:

Jun 15 12:56:21 localhost kernel: [ 6.380735] microcode: failed to load file amd-ucode/microcode_amd.bin
Jun 15 12:56:21 localhost kernel: [ 6.381699] microcode: failed to load file amd-ucode/microcode_amd.bin
Jun 15 12:56:21 localhost kernel: [ 6.382781] microcode: failed to load file amd-ucode/microcode_amd.bin
Jun 15 12:56:21 localhost kernel: [ 6.383519] microcode: failed to load file amd-ucode/microcode_amd.bin

Also it appears

Jun 15 12:56:21 localhost kernel: [ 11.834737] NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 08

while loading the network.

No configuration was changed, I just upgraded and restarted.

Please note also the German forum tread https://bbs.archlinux.de/viewtopic.php?id=21733

There you can ascertain that the first mentioned error message appears with the following CPUs:

* AMD Athlon II X4 640
* AMD Phenom II X4 945
* AMD Phenom II X4 955

Not a bug install the corresponding microcode package from extra,
new kernel loads microcode modules automatically.
