Updating the BIOS fixed those issues. Sorry for the noise.
@lord2y, with your new BIOS and with the microcode update packages installed, can you post the first kernel log lines after the boot ?
Depending on the distro, you can use either the "dmesg | head" command (as root), or maybe "journalctl -k -b | head" to get the very first lines of the kernel log for the current boot.
Thank you
@hmh I think the meaningful lines here are:
[Thu Nov 19 11:38:53 2020] microcode: microcode updated early to revision 0x2006a08, date = 2020-06-16
[Thu Nov 19 11:38:53 2020] Linux version 5.4.0-54-generic (buildd@lcy01-amd64-024) (gcc version 9.3.0 (Ubuntu 9.3.0-17ubuntu1~20.04)) #60-Ubuntu SMP Fri Nov 6 10:37:59 UTC 2020 (Ubuntu 5.4.0-54.60-generic 5.4.65)
Is that what you were looking for?
Yes, thank you.
Hello,
I'm running Ubuntu Focal with latest kernel 5.4.0-54-generic on this cpu:
Using the microcode rev. 0x2006a08 - Ubuntu version intel-microcode-3.20201110.0ubuntu0.20.04.2 - I'm not able to boot on this cpu anymore. Doing an early-load update the RCU's CPU stall detector seems to be entering in an infinite loop:
This keeps repeting forever and it's neccessary a power reset to regain the machine control.
Performing a late-load update, with the Ubuntu kernel 5.4.0-52, the machine crashes after a while:
The Ubuntu kernel 5.4.0-54, disabling microcode loading - adding cmdline option
dis_ucode_ldr
- boots without any issue.
