@bellengc, you'd need to open up your Terminal to make a more permanent edit to your grub bootfile. Once you have the terminal open, type in: cd /etc/default sudo vi grub This will open up a text editor in your terminal. You're going to be making edits to your bootfile so it's a good idea to copy/paste a back up of this file in another text file. Near the top of the file you should see a line that looks like: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" Go to this line, and after whatever commands are in there, add "dis_ucode_ldr" to the end. If you haven't used vi, you'll need to first hit "i" to go into edit mode, then start moving around and typing. When you're done, you should have a line that looks like: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash dis_ucode_ldr" To save your changes and exit the editor, type ":wq". Now run the command "sudo update-grub". Now, next time you boot up, you should be good to go. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1829620 Title: intel-microcode on ASUS makes kernel stuck during loading initramfs on bionic-updates, bionic-security Status in intel-microcode package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux-hwe package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux-hwe-edge package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Description: - my system gets stuck at "Booting, Loading initramfs" (the first 2 lines of booting, after grub) - does not even show the enter cryptsetup passphrase - affected kernels: # apt list --installed |grep linux-signed WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface.

Re: [Kernel-packages] [Bug 1829620] Re: intel-microcode on ASUS makes kernel stuck during loading initramfs on bionic-updates, bionic-security
Is there a BIOS update for your Dell? I updated my Asus' BIOS and it fixed the issue. Though, now the NVIDIA driver does not work for me. I haven't had a chance to dig in on yet.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1829620] Re: intel-microcode on ASUS makes kernel stuck during loading initramfs on bionic-updates, bionic-security
I can confirm all said before. In my case my laptop is an ASUS VivoBook S14 S430FA. I bought it 2 days ago 'cause it was a cheep nice laptop with just what I needed, and did came with a preinstalled linux (Endless), so I could guess that it had to work properly in another Linux like Xubuntu (I'm on Xubuntu 18.04.2 both in my desktop and now in my new laptop). Could not expect this problems, but finaly it's working fine, and everything works like a charm from hardware side, as intended. I had a very hard time to get it running, and reinstalled thousand times the whole system (with encrypted HD or not), till I could guess the problem started when updating some packages, among them the intel- microcode. But I was not sure which one exactly was (or had the time for more trials), though I suspect this one could be THE one. Fortunately, I just found that the lowlatency kernels did work! So, probably the lowlatency are not injecting the intel-microcode code, which could perhaps be thought as a new bug, but for me was a real blessing. I do work with audio usually, but never had the real need of a RT kernel, so I'm pleased to have find this and being able to go back to standard kernel. For my laptop there is no new BIOS by ASUS by now (still on 300), so I have to use workarounds I or II, both work fine. For more comfort, I use the second one, the pinned package, so that it will be easy so see when a new one comes, and try if it solves or not the problem. And I tend to think that an outdated intel-microcode (for the infamous spectre and meltdown intel failure) is better than no microcode applied. Or is not the way it works? Should I choose the I option or it's the same? Anyway, thanks a lot, and, if you come in trouble again with that, remember that the lowlatency kernel does not suffer this problems, you don't need an "exotic" kernel, just one at hand... (I'm keeping the 4.18 lowlatency kernel just in case, while using the 5.00 generic, so that it defaults to generic, but have my second option just in case something fails again, or just I feel the need at any point for a RT kernel) BTW: I was unable to boot ever from a 19.04 ubuntu version (nor Xubuntu, nor Ubuntu, nor Lubuntu). That was another trial I was at after being pissed by the bizarre problem for a number of times. But never got a simple booting from pendrive with any xUbuntu 19.04. And it seems logical now, probably the intel-microcode is yet included in the images. Probably I could have used the I workaround, but I didn't find this page till now. Anyway, I prefer to keep at LTS just not to be updating each 6 months... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1829620 Title: intel-microcode on ASUS makes kernel stuck during loading initramfs on bionic-updates, bionic-security Status in intel-microcode package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux-hwe package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux-hwe-edge package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Description: - my system gets stuck at "Booting, Loading initramfs" (the first 2 lines of booting, after grub) - does not even show the enter cryptsetup passphrase - affected kernels: # apt list --installed |grep linux-signed WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1829620] Re: intel-microcode on ASUS makes kernel stuck during loading initramfs on bionic-updates, bionic-security
Chris, thanks for confirming which processor is in use. To force downgrade the microcode package on bionic, do: sudo apt install intel-microcode=3.20180312.0~ubuntu18.04.1 For other releases, you will need to replace the version with what version(s) are available for your release; you can use apt-cache policy to see what is available. In the worst case, if the version you want to downgrade to is not available in the archive any more (e.g. for xenial or trusty), you can navigate to that release's information page for that package (e.g. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/+source/intel-microcode), navigate to the specific version you desire, and manually download the appropriate binary deb for your system, and install it via 'sudo dpkg -i intel_microcode-VERSION_ARCH.deb'. One downside to using older versions is that, unless you use dpkg pinning to keep them in place, unattended-upgrades or some other update process will upgrade them to the current version available for that release, putting you right back to where you started. An alternative approach would be to add IUCODE_TOOL_INITRAMFS=no to /etc/default/intel-microcode and then re-running 'update-initramfs -u' to remove the microcode bits from the initramfs image. NOTE: you will want to remember that you did this so that you can re-enable microcode updates once this issue has been resolved.

> https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.0.17/ so I have tested with a kernel from this PPA and it did not help. Tyler, there's one strange thing I'd like to ask: the boot process behaves stateful(?!), ie. I can get into a previous "clean"/"dirty" state (and at least liquorix) kernel then boots differently. 1. make the kernel get stuck, eg. run ubuntu 4.15 (-dis_ucode_ldr) -> "dirty". reboot (I have to hard power off). 2. Boot liquorix kernel (-dis_ucode_ldr, +mds=off) -> stuck! 3. make kernel pass once successfully. eg boot liquorix (+dis_ucode_ldr) -> i get to cryptsetup asking for passwd in intrd (it's not enough to reboot at this stage), need to fill in and boot to desktop. -> "clean". Reboot. 4. now repeat step 2, and I get to boot?! How is 2 vs. 4 possible? Where is the info stored?

I compared the arch/x86/ source code directories in the liquorix and Ubuntu kernels. While there are a large amount of differences, I didn't see anything that would cause a microcode loading behavior change. This has me wondering about a few things regarding your being able to boot the liquorix kernel in comment #41. A) 'dmesg | grep microcode' showed no output. This is confusing because the microcode loader should print information when it loads microcode unless it is disabled. Your /proc/cmdline doesn't show the dis_ucode_ldr kernel parameter being in use but the use of that option would prevent anything from being printed by the microcode loader. B) You have the latest microcode revision (0xb8) loaded according to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/microcode/version. That means that either the kernel microcode loader did load microcode or you've recently installed a BIOS update which contains the latest microcode revision and the kernel microcode loader didn't do anything. Asus published BIOS version 302 for your laptop on 2019-04-02 (https://www.asus.com/Laptops/ASUS-ZenBook-14-UX433FN/HelpDesk_BIOS/). It is has no release notes that I can find. The release date on the BIOS update comes after the date stamped in the microcode file (2019-03-30). That would be quite the turnaround time but it is technically possible that it contains revision 0xb8. To summarize, maybe you've installed a BIOS update that includes the new microcode and that's allowing you to boot the liquorix kernel because it isn't doing a microcode load because of A) and/or B) above? The upstream bug report has mentions of Arch, Fedora, Ubuntu, and upstream kernels all being affected by this bug. I'm skeptical that the liquorix kernel is doing microcode loading correctly, when nobody else is, which is why I'm trying to double check everything in comment #41. > Is there a PPA with vanilla kernel I should try? We have a mainline vanilla kernel builds of 5.0.17 here: https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.0.17/ Unfortunately, the 5.0.18 build, which would more closely resemble the liquorix kernel, isn't available yet. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1829620 Title: intel-microcode on ASUS makes kernel stuck during loading initramfs on bionic-updates, bionic-security Status in intel-microcode package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux-hwe package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux-hwe-edge package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Description: - my system gets stuck at "Booting, Loading initramfs" (the first 2 lines of booting, after grub) - does not even show the enter cryptsetup passphrase - affected kernels: # apt list --installed |grep linux-signed WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface.

Marking as an SRU regression and assigning to the Security Team uploader for follow-up. ** Tags added: regression-security regression-update ** No longer affects: cryptsetup (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: intel-microcode (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Steve Beattie (sbeattie) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1829620 Title: intel-microcode on ASUS makes kernel stuck during loading initramfs on bionic-updates, bionic-security Status in intel-microcode package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux-hwe package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux-hwe-edge package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Description: - my system gets stuck at "Booting, Loading initramfs" (the first 2 lines of booting, after grub) - does not even show the enter cryptsetup passphrase - affected kernels: # apt list --installed |grep linux-signed WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts. linux-signed-generic/bionic-security,bionic-updates,now 4.15.0.50.52 amd64 [installed] linux-signed-generic-hwe-18.04/bionic-security,bionic-updates,now 4.18.0.20.70 amd64 [installed] linux-signed-generic-hwe-18.04-edge/bionic-security,bionic-updates,now 5.0.0.15.71 amd64 [installed] - the setup is not new, has been working perfectly before (about 7 days since my last restart?) System: - HW: ASUS Zenbook 14 UX433FN - Ubuntu 18.04, runing latest HWE, fully updated - grub(-pc), cryptsetup (crypttab entries for custom encrypted LUKS setup), Suspected/possible cause?: - recent intel-microcode package update - recent kernel package updates Steps taken: - tried to remove "splash quiet" from grub/kernel cmd line (also tried adding nosplash, noplymouth) - completely removed nvidia drivers (apt purge *nvidia*) - completely purged and reinstalled grub (grup-pc) - completely purged and reinstalled all kernels (headers, modules, image, ..) - toggle BIOS "fastboot" (now using OFF) - toggle UEFI SecureBoot (now using ON) - remove plymouth (apt remove *plymouth* , but the workaround is working with plymouth installed) Workaround: - so far, I'm only able to boot with non-Ubuntu kernel! (linux-image-liquorix-amd64) - which needs "splash" option ON - reinstall cryptsetup & update-grub (as suggested in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1829620/comments/10 ) I am not sure how to get you more debug info, as this setup has been working before, and it's a very eary boot-process bug, so I can't even access dmesg etc. EDIT: Hypothesis: Only affects ASUS with newer (Kaby lake) Intel CPU, intel-microcode WORKAROUND 1: disable intel microcode updates during boot From this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/intel-microcode/+bug/1759920 1/ add the boot parameter: dis_ucode_ldr to /etc/default/grub 2/ update-grub WORKAROUND 2: downgrade (and hold) intel-microcode to older version from bionic/main apt install --reinstall intel-microcode=3.20180312.0~ubuntu18.04.1 --- ProblemType: Bug ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.6 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: KDE DistroRelease: KDE neon 18.04 InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-12-23 (2337 days ago) InstallationMedia: Kubuntu 12.10 "Quantal Quetzal" - Release amd64 (20121017.1) Package: linux-hwe-edge (not installed) Tags: bionic wayland-session Uname: Linux 5.0.0-17.1-liquorix-amd64 x86_64 UnreportableReason: The running kernel is not an Ubuntu kernel UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm libvirtd lpadmin netdev plugdev sudo vboxusers video _MarkForUpload: True --- ProblemType: Bug ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.6 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: KDE DistroRelease: KDE neon 18.04 InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-12-23 (2339 days ago) InstallationMedia: Kubuntu 12.10 "Quantal Quetzal" - Release amd64 (20121017.1) Package: linux-hwe-edge PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.0.0-15.16~18.04.1-generic 5.0.6 Tags: third-party-packages bionic wayland-session Uname: Linux 5.0.0-15-generic x86_64 UnreportableReason: Toto není oficiální KDE balík.
