System hangs using microcode 06-a7-01 version 20231114 #70
Comments
Whilst not identical, as a data-point, I have tested the same microcode on a very similar machine (but running the older

Can you first boot with cmdline dis_ucode_ldr. This will disable early loading. Then report what version comes from BIOS? You can also recreate an initrd without the suspect ucode, then try to late-load it via
And report back. |
This result occurs after a cold boot, board is an ASUS Z590 Extreme with BIOS v2.20 dating 2023/4/7. I updated the BIOS in May, before BIOS v1.90, dating 2021/7/29, was installed.
Since I am chain-loading two initrd files, one of them containing the microcode, using syslinux there is no need to recreate the initrd, I just obmit the microcode image from the kernel cmdline. EDIT: A reboot without dis_ucode_ldr was enough ;) Here is the result of the microcode reload:
Approx. 10s later the machine freezes without any messages on the terminal (headless server here) or in syslog. |
The issue still exists with version 20231114. |
Thanks.. I'll have someone look into that... I didn't fully understand the linked initrd.. Are you saying that you have two entries. one with the ucode in initrd and another without the ucode? So after the late-load, you noticed system updated from 0x58->0x59.. but system froze after that. Did I understand it correctly |
The bootloader contains one entry consisting of two initrd files which are being chain-loaded.
Yes. |
With version 20230512 everything is fine but using the latest version 20230808 the system hangs during boot.
The img file is used with syslinux
which works fine with the previous microcode
but with the current microcode on screen only three lines appear about loading intel-microcode.img, rootfs.img and the Linux kernel (5.14.21) itself, no messages from the kernel itself appear, the system is frozen.
