We are seeing intermittent "Microcode SW error detected. Restarting 0x0" repeatedly with our Linux system, that causes intermittent network down.

 

We tested with the latest Linux kernel 6.6 LTS (LongTermSupport) branch (6.6.93), and the latest cc-a0-77.ucode firmware/microcode  (firmware version: 77.864baa2e.0).

 

This event's frequency is pretty high - one of our stations got this event every few minutes:
