I'm having this same error, using the Xen kernel on a Sony VAIO desktop.

processor       : 0
vendor_id       : GenuineIntel
cpu family      : 15
model           : 0
model name      : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 1500MHz

The error is coming from /etc/rc.d/init.d/microcode_ctl but you can
reproduce it by running "/sbin/modprobe microcode" from the shell.
