The "microcode" module is now loaded automatically if your CPU
supports it. Before you had to do it manually, that's why you see this
error now.
I suppose the reason is that you don't have the amd-ucode package installed.

As far as I know you no longer need powernow-k8 or cpufreq_ondemand
any more, as they too are loaded automatically if your CPU supports
them.
@Tobias,Thomas: I guess we'll see these sorts of warnings a lot as
essentially everyone who does not have one of ucode-{intel,amd}
installed will get them. I suppose we COULD post a news item about the
change to module autoloading...
Cheers,
