Ok, I "closed" it by tagging it "invalid", since we don't know what
really happened to that kernel (so "fixed" wouldn't really be correct).
Thanks.
** Changed in: intel-microcode (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Invalid

Yeah I suppose. I don't use this laptop anymore because I got a better
one, but I recall having to remove the intel-microcode package to get my
laptop booting again at the time. It's an older laptop though, I am
quite happy to close this issue.

Title:
lenovo t500 kernel hangs with flashing caps lock LED after
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
Kernel from 16.04 is now booting again after using old kernel to remove
the intel-microcode package then booting into the new kernel again.
** Summary changed:
- intel cpu microcode package killed my laptop
+ lenovo t500 kernel hangs with flashing caps lock LED after installing
intel-microcode
