Same issue, ASUS UX303U. Ubuntu 16.04. Kernel 4.15.0-123-generic I haven't tried yet updating the BIOS but adding "dis_ucode_ldr" after quiet splash did the trick for me.
Thank you guys so much. I spent 3 days debugging it. -- 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: i7-8565U, sig=0x806eb/20190514, 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
