Hi Petar, Thanks for providing the files.
The original issue, boot failure, seems to be a conflict between the 5.4 kernel and the intel-microcode blob, since the same blob works fine in the 4.15 kernel. (For the printout alignment issue, let's track that on another bug report.) Let's try to bisect when this microcode/kernel conflict started. Could you please test with: 1) the 5.4.0-26 kernel from focal-release? $ sudo apt install linux-image-5.4.0-26-generic (you might also need linux-modules-extra-5.4.0-26-generic and/or linux- headers-5.4.0-26-generic depending on your hardware; please check if those are installed with 'dpkg -l | grep linux-modules-extra' and similarly for headers) 2) the 5.3.0-67 kernel from bionic? (current HWE kernel) $ echo 'deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-updates main restricted' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bionic.list $ sudo apt update $ sudo apt install linux-image-5.3.0-67-generic # same observation for modules-extra and headers. $ sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bionic.list Please confirm whether or not these kernels can boot without dis_ucode_ldr.
