[Bug 1662097] Re: lenovo t500 kernel hangs with flashing caps lock LED after installing intel-microcode

[Rob van der Linde]

Yeah I suppose.  I don't use this laptop anymore because I got a better
one, but I recall having to remove the intel-microcode package to get my
laptop booting again at the time.  It's an older laptop though, I am
quite happy to close this issue.

Title:
  lenovo t500 kernel hangs with flashing caps lock LED after installing
  intel-microcode

Status in intel-microcode package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Had a working system, just upgraded it to Kubuntu 16.04, everything
  great after the upgrade.

  The driver tool then "recommended" me to install this CPU microcode
  package, after that the laptop failed to boot the kernel and the caps
  lock is flashing.

  Laptop is a lenovo t500 core 2 duo with 8gb RAM, I just can't seem to
  boot the laptop at all anymore since installing this CPU microcode
  package.

  My question is, is it really such a good idea to "recommend" this
  package under drivers if it can kill your system like this?
