Hello, We have discovered a boot regression on virtual machines in Canonical's OpenStack cloud when upgrading from 2.12-rc1 to 2.12 on ppc64. It was tracked down to the following patchset: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2023-11/msg00188.html The boot regressions seem to be related to GRUB running out of memory when loading initrds: https://objectstorage.prodstack5.canonical.com/swift/v1/AUTH_0f9aae918d5b4744bf7b827671c86842/autopkgtest-noble/noble/ppc64el/z/zsys/20240213_214024_bf6af@/log.gz As a temporary solution, I have reverted the patchset in Ubuntu, but I wonder if anything else is effected by this.
I don't think it's a solution to revert this change since grub is not supposed to use the memory described in the cover letter. Can you try to give more memory to a VM? How much memory do the VMs have? What hypervisor is this, KVM or PowerVM?
