bug 1625222 is duplicated bug for kernel which already in progress. To use that one for tracking kernel makes more sense to me.

This issue for linux is fix-committed in xenial yakkety and zesty. Delete affects package

initramfs-tools v0.125 or above picks up every hcd.ko for usb. Set to invalid.

Hello Ike, or anyone else affected,

Is the Trusty task valid? I don't see an upload in its SRU queue.

It is - I think Ike maybe waiting for the current trusty-proposed
version to migrate before rebasing.

There are a bunch of autopkgtest failure against this SRU. See https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/pending-sru.html. Please could you check to see if these are real issues, are hiding real test results or are merely false positives with no other impact?

Have a quick review on the last error of test log

autopkgtest for linux-lts-vivid (ppc64el): ERROR: running version does not match source package
autopkgtest for linux-lts-vivid (i386): ERROR: running version does not match source package
autopkgtest for linux-lts-vivid (amd64): ERROR: running version does not match source package

autopkgtest for linux-lts-xenial (i386): ERROR: running version does not match source package
autopkgtest for linux-lts-xenial (armhf): rebuild FAIL timed out

All armhf errors are kernel rebuild timeout due to slow machine.
One error (linux of ppc64el) are kernel regression test fail. Need to look into why.
Other errors are machine running different kernel version, trusty generic (3.13) and backport kernels.

@racb, Is there any doc about autopkgtest so that I can reproduce the error and get to bottom of this.

Found an open bug about different kernel version.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/auto-package-testing/+bug/1561110

armhf rebuild test and regression testing are all in kernel-team's script. I am working on solving this but they are not initramfs-tools' issue.

This bug was fixed in the package initramfs-tools - 0.103ubuntu4.7

---------------
initramfs-tools (0.103ubuntu4.7) trusty; urgency=medium

  * hook-functions: copy xhci-plat-hcd also.
