Asus Zenbook UX533FD don't boot with intel-ucode 20190312

Bắt đầu với mục boot tại /boot/loader/entries/arch-lts.conf và tái hiện lỗi bằng cách sử dụng intel-ucode 20190312 so với 20180807.a. So sánh đầu ra journalctl hiện có với thông tin chi tiết từ /proc/cpuinfo và lspci, sau đó ghi lại nguyên nhân đã được xác nhận, phiên bản microcode tương thích hoặc bản sửa lỗi cần thiết.

Hello,

I'm an ArchLinux user on Asus Zenbook laptop and my laptop can't boot with the latest intel-ucode update 20190312.
I have to downgrade to 20180807.a to make it run again.

With the latest update of intel-ucode, after power on my laptop, the Asus splash screen appears then nothing else happen. I wait a few minutes then I push the power on button for 20 seconds to hard reset the laptop. After a reboot on live session, journalctl shows no entries even with the debug option in kernel command line.

It really looks like the chipset can't find any CPU.

Here are the system packages :

$ pacman -Q | grep -e linux-lts -e systemd -e intel-ucode -e iucode
intel-ucode 20180807.a-1
iucode-tool 2.3.1-2
linux-lts 4.19.37-1
linux-lts-headers 4.19.37-1
systemd 242.16-1
systemd-libs 242.16-1
systemd-sysvcompat 242.16-1

The laptop boots with systemd EFI boot :

$ cat /boot/loader/entries/arch-lts.conf 
title	Arch Linux lts
linux	/vmlinuz-linux-lts
initrd	/intel-ucode.img
initrd	/initramfs-linux-lts.img
