Title:

  in proposed

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in linux-firmware package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I found that there are some machines in cert lab can't boot after
  installing the linux-frimware in proposed with 6.8.0-40 kernel.

  After selecting booting with the 6.8.0-40 kernel, it shows error: out
  of memory on the screen then freeze.

  There aren't any journal logs available, since they froze at very
  early stage.

  Following are the machines got impacted for now
