Same problem with Ubuntu 20.04 on a ThinkPad X1 Carbon 4th. "apt-get upgrade" froze at the installing the intel-ucode update. Then it also refused to start. As a workaround, I followed similar steps Paulo:
* Booting into recovery mode * Step 1: dpkg --configure -a * Step 2: apt --purge remove intel-microcode (first, I had to restore networking, but continuing boot in normal mode) I also realized that the /boot partition was out of space. So, I also had to run "apt-get auto-remove" first. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1882890 Title: intel-ucode/06-4e-03 from release 20200609 hangs system in early boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/intel-microcode/+bug/1882890/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
