Since the issue happens in the initramfs, I don't believe I can run
apport-collect. I've also long since worked around the issue by
including sata_highbank in the initramfs. However, the issue is that the
initramfs eventually drops into an emergency shell since it can't find
the root filesystem.

Title:
  Set CONFIG_SATA_HIGHBANK=y on armhf

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Sometime between trusty and xenial, CONFIG_SATA_HIGHBANK was changed
  from y to m. I believe the change was in utopic, but it's hard to
  tell.

  This makes booting on Calxeda Highbank systems pretty difficult since
  you can't get to the root filesystem on a SATA disk unless you were
  smart enough to have initramfs-tools include the sata_highbank module.
  On a clean install, you'd need to know to drop out of the installer,
  and rebuild the initramfs appropriately.

  Any chance that could be changed back to y for armhf?
