ego boot update doesn't find microcode

[perfmonk]

Trying to run "ego boot update" to reboot on funtoo and install the graphic environment  (in a VM).

I get the following error message :

(chroot)livecd /etc/portage # ego boot update
  * Generating config for grub...

ERROR: Ego encountered an unexpected error: AttributeError
ERROR: Full traceback written to /tmp/ego-traceback-16718.txt.

And the following is in the traceback log :

I have installed "linux-firmware" 20211027  but ego doesn't seems to find the AMD firmware.

Info on the laptop here:

I'm installing Funtoo in a VM under KVM.  Booted the VM with 3Gb memory, 25Gb vdisk with ext2 /boot on vda1, btrfs root on vda3 (yes I had to recompile genkernel and linux-debian-source) and 2Gb swap on vda2.  The vm processors are a copy of the current machine and virtmanage show it is an "Opteron_G3".

I have installed inxi in the vm and it show the following info :

I have added use flag "btrfs" in the make.conf previously.

Anything I have forget ?  Or is that a problem with the AMD microcode not loading ???

Any hint how to finally be able to boot this VM ???
