I assume you are using the microcode patch because you are using
Ethernet?
If your Ethernet is on SCC2 (which it should be), you don't need the
patch unless you are using SPI.

Are you trying to do any of the CPM Microcontroller commands?  I don't
think you can do the SPI/I2C commands when using the patch.  The uCode
patch itself has been recently updated to address a problem with
high CPM loads, is that the environment you are running in?
