FWIW I've had something that looks a lot like this problem (purple screen; hang at "loading initial ramdisk ..." when booting with text) after upgrading to the Eoan beta on a Skull Canyon NUC6i7KYB (Intel hw not ASUS; Core i7-6770HQ).
5.3.0.12 and 5.3.0.13 kernels were affected, but booting with a leftover 5.0 kernel worked fine. The problem went away after updating BIOS to latest firmware (KYSKLi70.86A) but I don't know if it'll come back when there is again newer microcode than what the BIOS has...? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1829620 Title: intel-microcode on ASUS makes kernel stuck during loading initramfs on bionic-updates, bionic-security To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/intel-microcode/+bug/1829620/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
