[SOLVED] problem of amd-ucode/microcode_amd.bin

I install my arch in vbox and there is a problem in booting, it shows that:

[ 4.937018] microcode: failed to load file amd-ucode/microcode_amd.bin
[ 4.940853] microcode: failed to load file amd-ucode/microcode_amd.bin
[ 5.041226] piix4_smbus 0000:00:07.0: SMBus base address uninitialized - upgrade BIOS or use force_addr=0xaddr

What's wrong with it?

Mihail, learn to search the forums. This was discussed e.g. here https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=145571.

Oh, it's my fault, thanks for reminding me that.
I tried to install the package amd-ucode, but the new problem occured

[ 4.959480] piix4_smbus 0000:00:07.0: SMBus base address uninitialized -upgrade BIOS os use force_addr=0xaddr
[ 4.952777] microcode: CPU0: update failed for patch_level=0x010000db
[ 4.855551] microcode: CPU1: update failed for patch_level=0x010000db

I have read the topic carefully, but I found that there is no satisfactory solution, isn't it?

Microcode updates don't work (and shouldn't be expected to) from inside virtual machines. Either ignore the microcode errors or blacklist that module.

Oh, I see, thank you.
