Hi Simon, > a coworker and myself , both on ubuntu , have been it by the same problem
thanks for confirming the error! Could you state what HW are you running? As the bug apparently does not hit everybody. > if we try with a older kernel in the grub list it works the first time and then it does not work anymore after next reboot Ok, I can confirm this behavior. This undeterminism is what made me confused that I had fixed the bug and then it hits again. Even my "hack" with non ubuntu kernel suffers this -- first run ok, then stuck! I would strongly expect that /boot/, grub, & initramfs stay constant during reboots. So it's something in BIOS that is stateful and changes during hard-power off/resets?? > I'm interested to know how you installed the custom kernel It's from this PPA: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/damentz/liquorix/ubuntu bionic main //and as I discovered thanks to your comment, unfortunately even this kernel does not help workaround the issue. > uninstalling cryptsetup and running upgrade-grub seems to fix the problem in my case Do you use cryptsetup for encryption? I'm trying REinstalling, hope the uninstall is not the only option, as it's unapplicable to me.

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 plymoyth (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 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. --- 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 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1829620/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
