[Bug 2100148] Re: Installation fails for pending plucky arm64+largemem iso

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package livecd-rootfs - 25.04.20

---------------
livecd-rootfs (25.04.20) plucky; urgency=medium

  [ Adriano Cordova ]
  * riscv: add SUBARCH 'jh7110'. (LP: #2099993)

  [ Michael Hudson-Doyle ]
  * In ubuntu-server builds, install the first kernel in the base layer, not
    the "ga" kernel (which may not be installed at all, as is the case in e.g.
    the arm64+largemem builds).
  * Again in ubuntu-server builds, configure LAYERFS_PATH in the kernel layer
    and ensure the initrd is freshly regenerated in that layer. LAYERFS_PATH
    was being set to the layer below the kernel layer, which meant that the
    live session did not get access to all the modules in the case that the
    kernel had not been installed in the base layer, which in turn means that
    installs fail. (LP: #2100148)
  * While we're at it, delete any initrd from any other layer than a kernel
    layer, as they just waste space on the ISO.

Bug description:
  Steps to reproduce:

  1. Obtain the latest PENDING image for plucky-live-server-arm64+largemem from https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/daily-live/pending/plucky-live-server-arm64+largemem.iso
  2. Try to install on an arm64 machine.
  3. Installer fails with default settings, seemingly at the "removing previous storage devices" step.

  I will attach the contents of /var/log/installer on the target system
  below. Given I can reliably reproduce the error I would be happy to
  get any more required information as needed.
