This bug is awaiting verification that the linux-
aws-6.11/6.11.0-1013.14~24.04.1 kernel in -proposed solves the problem.
Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the
problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-noble-linux-
aws-6.11' to 'verification-done-noble-linux-aws-6.11'. If the problem
still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-noble-linux-aws-6.11'
to 'verification-failed-noble-linux-aws-6.11'.


If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will
be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.


See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how
to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

Bug description:
  Recent versions of VMware vSphere support a "virtual watchdog timer",
  which implements a watchdog timer in the hypervisor. We use this with
  Patroni to ensure that a VM will reboot rather than accidentally have
  a writeable database when it shouldn't.

  Linux supports the virtual watchdog timer through the "wdat_wdt"
  module. In Ubuntu 24.04 LTS on amd64, this module is in the "linux-
  modules-extra-*-generic" series of packages. These are depended on by
  the "linux-image-generic" package, but not by the "linux-image-
  virtual" package. The latter is what is included in Ubuntu Official
  Cloud Images, including the OVA version for vSphere.

  I think that installing "linux-image-virtual" on amd64 should get you
  the "wdat_wdt" module because it's necessary to fully support a common
  hypervisor. This would probably entail moving it from linux-modules-
  extra-*-generic to linux-modules-*-generic.
