[Bug 1692876] Re: ubuntu-server ARM64 ISOs lack partition table with EFI System Partition

[Łukasz Zemczak]

Hello Paweł, or anyone else affected,

Accepted debian-installer into xenial-proposed. The package will build
now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-
installer/20101020ubuntu451.22 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 on 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-xenial to verification-done-xenial. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-xenial. In either case, without details of
your testing we will not be able to proceed.

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

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  On some arm64/efi platforms, the firmware will not be able to boot from an ISO dd'd to a USB stick.

  [Test Case]
  My test is to attach the ISO as an "HD/USB Image" to a Cavium CRB1S w/ AMI UEFI firmware using the BMC's Virtual Media. Note that the BMC requires that the file be renamed with a ".img" suffix.

  [Regression Risk]
  For d-i, this is aligning the xorriso boot options with the same ones now used to build the server ISO. Regression risk has been mitigated by testing on real hardware connected as both CD and disk images.
