Is there a way to turn on debugging? Sample "dmesg" output for a Fam15h AMD ( Kernel 4.9.xx ) : > [   10.336395] microcode: microcode updated early to new > patch_level=0x0600084f > [   10.337132] microcode: CPU0: patch_level=0x0600084f > [   10.337839] microcode: CPU1: patch_level=0x0600084f > [   10.338631] microcode: CPU2: patch_level=0x0600084f > [   10.342083] microcode: CPU3: patch_level=0x0600084f > [   10.342756] microcode: CPU4: patch_level=0x0600084f > [   10.343468] microcode: CPU5: patch_level=0x0600084f > [   10.344117] microcode: CPU6: patch_level=0x0600084f > [   10.344786] microcode: CPU7: patch_level=0x0600084f > [   10.345615] microcode: Microcode Update Driver: v2.01 > , Peter Oruba Output is very similar for Fam10h AMDs as well ( Phenom II x4 980 )
