[Bug 1799070] Re: Netboot initrd is not updated with signed modules

[Adam Conrad]

The old kernels that match the netboot image are always available,
literally right next to the initrd you pointed to.

Title:
  Netboot initrd is not updated with signed modules

Status in debian-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  At the time of writing (21-oct-2018) the distribution directory at

  http://ftp.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/bionic-updates/main/signed/linux-
  amd64/

  contains kernels for versions 4.15.0-33.36, 4.15.0-34.37 and
  4.15.0-36.39, whereas

  http://ftp.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/bionic-updates/main/installer-
  amd64/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/initrd.gz

  contains modules for kernel version 4.15.0-29.

  Thus, a signed UEFI netboot image cannot be constructed for the latest
  point release of Ubuntu Bionic, as the modules don't match the kernel.

  I would expect that *either* the modules in the netboot image were
  updated when a new kernel version was built, *or* that the old kernels
  that at one time matched the netboot image were still available for
  download.
