The flashing capslock LED is a kernel-has-crashed (aka "OOPS") indicator. It certainly looks like a bug in the microcode loader. For the record: It is possible to bypass the microcode loader. That would allow you to test that it is indeed the microcode loader, or to fix the system if you did not

FWIW, here are some points to consider when implementing this: 1. A multi-processor system may contain processors that differ in stepping, or for other reasons (e.g. ARM big.LITTLE). This *is* quite common on x86 servers and workstations. So, you might have more than one processor model to list.
