[Bug 1760264] Re: New version of intel-microcode freezes computer

[Michael Mauch]

Same problem on a Core i7 2600 (Sandy Bridge) with
3.20180312.0~ubuntu16.04.1.

Adding dis_ucode_ldr to grub's kernel command line temporarily (see
/usr/share/doc/intel-microcode/README.Debian.gz) let me boot again, so I
can try to download the older package.
