A recent update seems to have triggered this behaviour for me also. I'm using a Thinkpad X260 with an i3-6100U running 20.04.

After going from intel-microcode:amd64 3.20200609.0ubuntu0.20.04.2 to 3.20201110.0ubuntu0.20.04.2 I am unable to boot my machine normally, with the boot process hanging on the "Loading initial ramdisk" message.

I have 3 kernel versions available at boot, all of which appear equally broken
- 5.4.0.52-generic
- 5.4.0.53-generic
- 5.4.0.54-generic

However I am able to boot if I manually edit the grub entry to include the `dis_ucode_ldr` parameter...

Let me know if my comment should be moved somewhere else or if you need any more information.
