[Bug 1608622] Re: 14.04.5 drops to initramfs prompt during boot with nvme drive

[Adam Conrad]

Hello David, or anyone else affected,

Accepted initramfs-tools into trusty-proposed. The package will build
now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-
tools/0.103ubuntu4.4 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 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, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

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

Title:
  14.04.5 drops to initramfs prompt during boot with nvme drive

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in initramfs-tools source package in Trusty:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  So, installing 14.04.4 works fine, but systems with nvme drives don't
  boot after installing 14.04.5.

  Steps to reproduce:
  1) Install Ubuntu 14.04.5 on a system with an nvme drive
  2) reboot
  3) instead of booting to a graphical environment, there is an initramfs prompt.

  Notes: This also prevents reaching any of the recovery mode tools.
