Peter: Manually modifying the file per comment #9's fix worked for me on 14.04. But I am still having lots of problems with the GPUs on my laptop. Also had to use xorg-edgers ppa to get hardware acceleration back, otherwise X complained about unknown chipset. Also, the newest kernel versions (like 4.3) are freezing up hard for me, and different older versions only work on certain GPUs. What I mean is like, if I want to use the discrete nvidia GPU, I have to boot 3.19, but if I want integrated graphics, then I have to boot 4.2.4 with i915.preliminary_hw_support=1.

Andy, I spotted the problem: Line 120 in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hook-functions: cp -a "$firmware" "$target_dir" `cp -a` copies the symlink itself rather than the target it points to, so we end up with a broken symlink in initramfs and no actual firmware file. The fix that comes to mind for me is: cp -aL "$firmware" "$target_dir" But I'm not sure if that would have consequences elsewhere.

Yes the way we copy firmware into the initramfs we simply copy the top level link and do not carry the targets at all. Later we sensibly get rid of hanging symlinks leaving no sign of the firmware.
