Η Canonical απέσυρε την ενημέρωση Microcode της Intel που κυκλοφόρησε στις 11 Νοεμβρίου για όλες τις υποστηριζόμενες εκδόσεις του Ubuntu Linux για την αντιμετώπιση ενός σφάλματος που προκαλεί αποτυχίες εκκίνησης σε ορισμένα συστήματα της Intel Tiger lake.
On November 10, Intel released a new firmware for Intel Microcode on Linux systems. After the bugs were discovered, Canonical quickly fixed the Intel Microcode packages in all supported versions of Ubuntu, (Ubuntu 20.10, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Ubuntu 14.04 ESM), and released new versions of the kernel.
Unfortunately, the Intel Microcode update caused errors in some processors in the Intel Tiger Lake family, preventing the system from starting.
Therefore, Canonical again made the previous Intel Microcode update available only for the Tiger Lake family of processors.
The company informs them users that they can use the parameter dis_ucode_ldr kernel in the boot menu to disable firmware loading for Intel Microcode in case of system recovery mode.
If you are using one of the supported versions of Ubuntu on a computer with an Intel Tiger Lake processor and have already installed yesterday's Intel Microcode update, it is recommended that you update the system to the new Intel Microcode version already in the main repository.
If you installed yesterday's Intel Microcode update and are experiencing a system boot failure, you should use the kernel command line command above to prevent the firmware from loading and recovering your system. Then update via the terminal with the following commands (they are two in one):
sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade
