Thank you for the report. Based on that I think it's safe to say that this isn't caused by the issued update of intel-microcode? So I'll mark the intel-microcode task Invalid.
If you determine that the regression was caused by the kernel update, then please add a bug task against the "linux" package. Use "Also affects distribution/package" and choose Ubuntu and the package linux. ** Changed in: intel-microcode (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1713532 Title: Intel-8260 not init'd by intel-microcode=3.20170707.1~ubuntu16.04.0 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/intel-microcode/+bug/1713532/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
