[Bug 1993937] [NEW] Old start4.elf/fixup4.dat in 22.04 - nvme boot fail

[François]

Public bug reported:

Hello,

On ubuntu 22.04, when booting from a NVME SSD, the initramfs loaded with the initramfs directive in the config.txt is getting corrupted. The kernel issue the following error:
Initramfs unpacking failed: junk within compressed archive

The bug reports on raspberry side:
   * https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/1731
   * https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/1746

The bug has been resolved with new start4.elf/fixup4.dat files (see
https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/1731#issuecomment-1190448865)

See also this: https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/1746#issuecomment-1247836252
   -> the latest upstream stable firmware has the fix now.

Regards
