I tried to boot into Ubuntu 18.04 today, but when it was starting up and all the output was running by it declared a kernel error and froze. The only way I could get out was by holding the power button down for about ten seconds to shut the computer down. I think I might be able to fix the problem if I can get on Ubuntu or even into recovery mode, but I can't do either. I have had Ubuntu for almost nine months and have never had this problem before. The last time I was on the system it worked normally and I didn't do anything major. The only change I have made to any system that is even related to boot since I was last on was to change the default boot value in the Grub menu. I have a dual boot of Kali Linux (I am using the Kali Grub menu) and Windows 10 (which I am currently on) on the same system, but they have both been working fine. Before the kernel error the output said something like:
[Firmware Bug]: TSC_DEADLINE disabled due to Errata; please update microcode to version: 0x22 (or later)
The system also kept talking about the VFS but I don't know why because in BIOS the VFS tab is blanked out and it has never had a problem before.
My problem is not a duplicate of this issue because I am stuck outside of my system, not just reading the logs through: [Firmware Bug]: TSC_DEADLINE disabled due to Errata - what should I do about this?
