[Bug 2081020] Re: initrd: Ubuntu 24.04 fails to boot on UFS storage

[Benjamin Drung]

** Description changed:

  [Summary]
  
  Boot into initramfs after install 24.04 on UFS storage
  
  [Steps to reproduce]
  
  1. install ubuntu 24.04 on device with UFS storage
  2. reboot
+ 
+ As additional SRU test:
+ 
+ 1. Store the list of files in the initrd before the package update:
+ 3cpio -t /boot/initrd.img > before
+ 2. Upgrade initramfs-tools to the fixed version
+ 3. Store the list of files in the initrd afterwards:
+ 3cpio -t /boot/initrd.img > after
+ 4. Compare the content of the initrd:
+ diff -u before after
+ 5. The diff should only show (six) new kernel modules from drivers/ufs/host
  
  [Expected result]
  
  Boot into ubuntu desktop
  
  [Actual result]
  
  Boot into initramfs
  
  [Failure rate]
  
  100%
  
  [ Where problems could occur ]
  
  The initrd size will increase by 80 kB (see comment #6) and should not
  trigger people to run out of disk space.
  
  Generating the initrd during package upgrade could fail due to unrelated
  bugs, lack of disk space, or hardware failure.
