[Bug 1649213] Re: Support rootfs on xhci-plat-hcd attached storage

[Brian Murray]

Hello Ike, or anyone else affected,

Accepted initramfs-tools into xenial-proposed. The package will build
now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-
tools/0.122ubuntu8.8 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed
repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

Title:
  Support rootfs on xhci-plat-hcd attached storage

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in initramfs-tools source package in Trusty:
  New
Status in initramfs-tools source package in Xenial:
  Fix Committed
Status in initramfs-tools source package in Zesty:

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  If you install Ubuntu onto USB storage behind a Platform USB host controller, it will not be able to boot because the generated initramfs will not include the host controller driver.

  [Test Case]
  Install to a USB stick attached to platform USB controller and reboot. Booting will fail because it will be unable to find the root file system.

  [Regression Risk]
  Driver is only loaded when system requires xhci-plat-hcd, minimizing the impact to all other systems.
