[Bug 1573095] Re: Cloud images fail to boot when a serial port is not available

[Guilherme G. Piccoli]

Oh, so it's explained! Thanks Javier for the data. You're using an
outdated version of the package that doesn't contain this fix. You need
initramfs-tools version 0.122ubuntu8.17 - you can either try to get an
updated cloud image, or after the first boot you may be able to update
it (you could disable the console=ttySX entry in the cmdline as a
workaround in the 1st boot).

If possible, please try the new version and let us all know how it goes.
Cheers,


Guilherme
