Bug#974166: I'd like to help
Hi,
I suspect it may have to do with the 5th gen (Broadwell Desktop) only,
as they have a very special (and powerful) iGPU.
And maybe that's why the bug passed inadvertently so much time:
those CPUs didn't sell very well.
Yes, I have that package installed:
||/ Name Version Architecture Description
+++-===============-============-============-===========================================
ii intel-microcode 3.20201110.1 amd64 Processor microcode
firmware for Intel CPUs
When I first upgraded to 5.7, I couldn't boot,
and my first thought was: this seems to be such a big bug,
so they probably have already noticed, and I didn't report it.
It's been more than half a year, kernel 5.9, and the bug is still there,
so I strongly suspect that the only affected CPUs are those with
Intel Iris Pro 6200 (there are only 4 models with that iGPU).
Thanks,
Alex
