Henrique, I didn't realize until today that the systemd tmpfiles.d would also get triggered as part of the intel-microcode postinst in addition to very early in the boot process. I have reverted it for focal (and eventually groovy) because of the increased risk of instability and the greater difficulty that it adds to recovery from a bad microcode update; booting an earlier kernel/initramfs combination with an older microcode embedded would still get the new bad microcode loaded via the tmpfiles.d snippet.
I used this bug report as a reference for the upload, but re-opened the issue as it's not clear whether an early-loaded microcode is a problem for the reporter. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1883002 Title: intel-ucode 20200609: hangs on Whiskey Lake To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/intel-microcode/+bug/1883002/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
