[Bug 2081020] Please test proposed package

[Timo Aaltonen]

Hello Dirk, or anyone else affected,

Accepted initramfs-tools into noble-proposed. The package will build now
and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-
tools/0.142ubuntu25.4 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed
repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
noble to verification-done-noble. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-noble. In either case, without details of your testing we will
not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Title:
  initrd: Ubuntu 24.04 fails to boot on UFS storage

Status in OEM Priority Project:
  Confirmed
Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in initramfs-tools source package in Noble:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [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.
