Hi all
let me resurrect this thread. I am now working on this computer regular,
lockdown has lessened here in Italy and I hope all you Devuaners are in
good help.
Unfortunately stability did not improve much

Perhaps something takes over the mouse, touchpad, and keyboard so that

We know it is a kernel problem since I can boot 4.9.0-11 boots fine
(typing right now) while 4.9.0-12 crashes very soon (sometimes you can
get to X and it freezes right thereafter) but most often it freezes
directly at boot.
It is a hard freeze.
My CPU is:
model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU T7200 @ 2.00GHz
I just tried adding "contrib" to my repositories and I see intel
microcode is available, I hope it helps.
Do you know how this "update" works? will it be applied also when
running older kernels?
I do not see it applied in dmesg when running 4.9.0-11
grep "microcode updated early to"
returns nothing.
Also I wonder if when running 4.9.0-12 it is applied early enough and if
it would help at all.
I tried running 4.9.0-12 in recovery mode and I see the crash of the
kernel.
(I did attach a screenshot, but it cannot fit inside the 40K of this
mailing list, so I am removing it)
