Title:
  intel microcode breaks booting asus zenbook UX362FA

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hi,

    when booting kernel, it fails on message: "Loading initial ramdisk
  ..." and nothing happens.

    I'm using LVM and disk is encrpyted by LUKS.

    Everything works 1 month before. Today I had to reboot PC and all my
  kernels has the same problem. Recovery mode does not work.

    Kernel 4.18.0 from Ubuntu 18.10 sometimes works and sometimes not
  (the same message: Loading initial ramdisk...).

    I was looking for solution and adding "dis_ucode_ldr" parameter
  before booting helps. Now I can boot all my kernels.

    So I think - it is problem with microcode.

  
    Petr
