> or you've recently installed a BIOS update which contains the latest microcode revision and the kernel microcode loader didn't do anything. Asus published BIOS version 302 for your laptop on 2019-04-02 (https://www.asus.com/Laptops/ASUS-ZenBook-14-UX433FN/HelpDesk_BIOS/).
I really have updated to BIOS v302 from Asus website. It is roughly around the time the problems started, but I *think* I have been able to boot with the new BIOS before. So probably some change in kernel/microcode in addition to that? > To summarize, maybe you've installed a BIOS update that includes the new microcode and that's allowing you to boot the liquorix kernel because it isn't doing a microcode load because of A) and/or B) above? yes. Both cases: (updated BIOS + liquorix kernel) or (dis_ucode_ldr + ubuntu kernel) work for me. -- 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
