Bug Description
[Impact]
The linux_xen template seems to be broken for multiple initrd files.
Linux fails to boot when it needs a real initrd but early/microcode
initrd(s) are found by grub-mkconfig.
The 2 patches (merged upstream [2]) allow more than one initrd to be
actually loaded, and the real/non-microcode initrd get used by Linux.
More details in the patchset cover letter [1].
[Test Plan]
$ sudo apt install microcode-initrd
$ du --bytes /boot/...
13660416 /boot/vmlinuz-
33062542 /boot/initrd.
5045248 /boot/microcode
$ sudo reboot
- Original:
[ 2.505207] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root
fs on unknown-block(0,0)
- Patch 1:
[ 1.890498] Freeing initrd memory: 4928K
...
[ 2.710948] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root
fs on unknown-block(0,0)
- Patch 2:
[ 1.968578] Freeing initrd memory: 32288K
...
[ 2.844889] Run /init as init process
[ 2.916532] systemd-udevd[148]: Starting version 245.4-4ubuntu3.17
[Where problems could occur]
Regressions would be likely to manifest when booting Linux under Xen
with more than one initrd file (changes contained in this code path).
