I don't know if it is the same problem, but the Lenovo notebooks Lenovo E585 and Lenovo E485 with Ryzen 5 2500U or Ryzen 7 2700U also do not boot on Linux. This is very frustrating, because you have to add command lines to GRUB make them even able to boot on Linux:

ivrs_ioapic[32]=00:14.0 ivrs_ioapic[33]=00:00.1
and
spec_store_bypass_disable=on or spec_store_bypass_disable=seccomp

Otherwise Linux does not boot.

Thanks to evilazrael who found that workaround, otherwise still no-one would be able to boot a Linux distribution on the laptop.

The initial analysis from him you find here:

An ongoing discussion of the case you find here:

It would be nice if it would be fixed, because many user will relinquish using Linux if it does not boot on the first time, and also all others users need a fix, because the workaround may reduces performance and increases power use.
