[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1835660] Re: initramfs unpacking failed
Just installed a new system and the bug is still there, leading me straight back to this bug report for the 'fix'. I was really hoping that this bug would have been addressed in 20.04.1. Not sure why no one from the dev team is picking this up to rectify it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1835660 Title: initramfs unpacking failed Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: "initramfs unpacking failed: Decoding failed", message appears on boot up.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1835660] Re: initramfs unpacking failed
I'm watching this error since about 10 months hoping that this would be fixed before the 20.04 release. Now we're almost 4 months past the release date and it's still there. Given that the fix is quite easy, I'm wondering why this is still an unresolved issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1835660 Title: initramfs unpacking failed Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: "initramfs unpacking failed: Decoding failed", message appears on boot up.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1903397] Re: Groovy 5.8 kernel hangs on boot on CPUs with eLLC
Will this land in Focal's HWE package as well?

In case -proposed in Focal's HWE needs also verification: could someone with a 5675C or 5775C test 5.8.0-31.33~20.04.1 with the corresponding patch as well?
