Thanks for the update @davidkrauser, and very happy that groovy is working out. Is the fix due for focal sometime in the coming weeks or months? Any extra info is appreciated. Also happy holidays and end of year, and thank you all for what you do! -- You received this bug notification because

Hey, is there some transparency into an actual fix here? https://cloud- images.ubuntu.com/focal/20201210/focal-server-cloudimg-amd64.img still has this issue. I still cannot use the cloudimg with libvirt / qemu without modification to workaround this issue. -- You received this bug notification

Awesome, thanks for categorizing that for me @vorlon! I was trying hard to find the right home for the issue, but didn't even think of livecd- rootfs :) I still am not too sure about the ultimate value offered by the initramfs fallback. It seems like you would: (a) never want initramfs, or (b)

Hi! Has any information surfaced about the cloudimg kernel and virtio- scsi? After thinking about this for some time, I propose that the "initrdfail" design isn't ultimately helpful and should be reverted, because: (1) It substantially increases the complexity of grub.cfg, (2) it is not clear

> These images should likewise be bootable under libvirt with, at most, a boot performance penalty because of the second boot. Well, yes, it does boot on the second boot. Not trying to be contrarian here, but isn't a moot point that booting on the first boot is the de facto way things should

Thanks for the information @vorlon. I think that makes sense. What would be the solution for booting focal-server-cloudimg-amd64.img with libvirt (virt-install) (so, not on Azure, as the OP was; so, I think the issue is now fractured into two separate issues with same underlying cause)? Thanks.

Hey Dan, thanks for getting back. In my case, it's not even my system though: it's Canonical's system; It's a fresh download of a cloudimg from https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/focal/ which has the issue, so it can't because I didn't build the image right, because I didn't build the image at all.

I don't know how to escalate attention to this issue. Is emailing the author of commit 6a814c759e10feafb40c3669be30aa51eb5ce39b, which seems to have introduced the issue, acceptable? I'm surprised it's not causing more issues. I guess people don't care about the cloud images much? -- You

Hmmm, I am not using the ISO, but rather the pre-installed cloudimg, and I am not so sure it is actually fixed. I just tried out the latest one, and can confirm the issue still persists with it: https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/focal/20200430.1/focal-server-cloudimg- amd64.img Here is the output

I get the same or very similar behaviour running Kubuntu 15.10 running under VMWare Fusion on a Mac. After doing a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade the vm fails to boot, getting stuck on the boot logo. Hitting escape right after the machine starts shows me the boot log, and it gets wedged on the line
