Dear maintainer,
I'm not sure if this is the correct place to report this bug, but for a couple of days now, my needrestart (on a Lenovo with a AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5650GE with Radeon Graphics) tells me that microcode revision 0x0a50000c is being used, but it expects 0x0a500011 to be loaded. But the only update of a microcode-related update I got recently was for intel-microcode. And dmseg tells me this:


[    0.981141] microcode: Current revision: 0x0a50000c


So it seems the latest microcode that's available for my CPU is already being loaded. Is it possible that this newer version is only for Intel CPUs? Or what could be the reason why the newer microcode isn't getting applied even after several restarts?

Hi Richard,

can you please provide the output of: needrestart -vw


Thanks & Regards,

Pending processor microcode upgrade!

Diagnosis:
   The current processor microcode revision is 0x0a50000c instead of the expected microcode revision 0x0a500011.

The system will not restart automatically to load the processor microcode. A restart should be performed. [Return]


But I also just read this article [1] that AMD has fixed some hash values for microcode, so that may actually be the firmware that is supposed to be loaded, but the Kernel can't.
