Title:
Fix multiple initrds support in grub.conf
Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in grub2 source package in Focal:
Fix Committed
Status in grub2 source package in Groovy:
Fix Released
Bug description:
[Impact]
* When attempting to use multiple initrd, update-grub generates
invalid grub.cfg configuration.
[Test Case]
* sudo touch /boot/microcode.cpio
* sudo update-grub
* grep microcode.cpio /boot/grub/grub.cfg
initrd / microcode.cpio initrd.img-5.4.0-37-generic
Observe that the initrd stanzas are incorrect. Instead they should be
_both_ absolute valid filepaths from grub prefix location, i.e.
initrd /microcode.cpio /initrd.img-5.4.0-37-generic
# ensure one cleans up the system after testing
* sudo rm /boot/microcode.cpio
* sudo update-grub
[Regression Potential]
* 2.04 upstream release supports multiple initrds correctly, but the
ubuntu-only patches incorrectly changed the behaviour of grub-mkconfig
breaking this support. This SRU fixes this. Since currently multiple
initrd support is broken, nobody is using it. But hopefully it will
become usable after this SRU and will be used by default in certain
configurations.
