[Bug 1853369] Re: [19.10] Boot hangs at "loading initial ramdisk"
I am having the similar issue on my Dell XPS 8930 Desktop when tried upgrading from 18.04 LTS to 20.04 LTS. Mine is dual boot linux with Windows 10. I had successfully running Windows 10 and Ubuntu Linux 18.04 LTS system for almost 2.5 years. Then heard about 20.04 LTS - seems to be smooth installed-i wanted to try it. I followed this link Did everything from command line. Everything went fine. I have Linux installed on PCI NVME SSD and Windows 10 on normal SSD. I used Windows boot loader as the default entry and Ubuntu Linux to be selected if i want to go to Linux. As per that link, i installed not using kernels to clean up some space. I was getting purple grub screen. But after this upgrade - i get this black grub screen. on which Linuxes - there are two entries - i don't know which one is default. But if i try to select either of the linux - it doesn't boot Linux and it's all dark screen. Though on Grub - i can select the entry for Windows and it boots it without any issues. What went wrong? How to come back to normal life with this upgraded ubuntu Linux 20.04 LTS? I can select the advanced option and then tried booting 5.4.0-31-generic(kernel which comes with Ubuntu Linux 20.04 LTS) After that it displays: Loading Linux 5.4.0-31-generic ... Loading initial ramdisk and then it freezes What could be the issue? But after selecting Advanced options for Ubuntu when i select Ubuntu with Linux 4.15.0-101-generic it shows me same messages Loading Linux 4.15.0-101-generic… Loading initial ramdisk… but not getting stuck or freeze and finally loads new Ubuntu Linux 20.04 LTS What's going on here? I checked that 20.04 LTS is installed and working with this choice root@ashu-XPS-8930:/home/ashu# cat /etc/lsb-release I was upgrading using this command on the command line: sudo do-release-upgrade -d ** Attachment added: "Loading ramdisk" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/intel-microcode/+bug/1853369/+attachment/5376551/+files/Loading%20Ramdisk.PNG -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1853369 Title: [19.10] Boot hangs at "loading initial ramdisk" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/intel-microcode/+bug/1853369/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1853369] Re: [19.10] Boot hangs at "loading initial ramdisk"
I tried what "Xandor Schiefer (zeorin)" stated. But 5.4.0-31-generic couldn't be booted. Then tried recovery mode for 5.4.0-31-generic - it worked with lower resolution. Then tried log in using 5.4.0-31-generic but no success. Well it has nothing to do with power cable as i am on desktop. I have the most updated BIOS for my Dell XPS 8930. Don't know what could be the issue but it's just not working for me.

Re: [Bug 1853369] Re: [19.10] Boot hangs at "loading initial ramdisk"
I have fixed this issue. I uninstalled ubuntu and installed it all over again. It was pain. I screwed up ubuntu as well as Windows. Luckily - I had no important data in ubuntu linux and in Windows - I keep all the data in D and E drives. My stuff mentioned here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1268013/deleted-ubuntu-and-grub-but-windows-10-is-not-booting It's working fine after that. I have Windows 10 and ubuntu 20.4.1 LTS installed - dual boot.
