[Bug 1799070] Re: Netboot initrd is not updated with signed modules

[Roland Kaufmann]

** Description changed:

  At the time of writing (21-oct-2018) the distribution directory at
  
  http://ftp.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/bionic-updates/main/signed/linux-
  amd64/
  
  contains kernels for versions 4.15.0-33.36, 4.15.0-34.37 and
  4.15.0-36.39, whereas
  
  http://ftp.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/bionic-updates/main/installer-
  amd64/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/initrd.gz
  
  contains modules for kernel version 4.15.0-29.
  
  Thus, a signed UEFI netboot image cannot be constructed for the latest
- point release of Ubuntu Bionic, as the modules doesn't match the kernel.
+ point release of Ubuntu Bionic, as the modules don't match the kernel.
  
  I would expect that *either* the modules in the netboot image were
  updated when a new kernel version was built, *or* that the old kernels
  that at one time matched the netboot image were still available for
  download.
