Public bug reported:
[Impact]
* Minimal images built from livecd-rootfs after March 12th do not boot.
There are no broken images on cloud-images.ubuntu.com, but no further
images will be published until this is fixed. Cloud-specific minimal
images are unaffected, as they do the proper steps in their build hooks
to mitigate this problem.
[Test Plan]
* Build a minimal image from livecd-rootfs in the focal branch.
* Launch it through qemu to verify it boots: qemu-system-x86_64 -cpu host
-machine type=q35,accel=kvm -m 2048 -snapshot -netdev
id=net00,type=user,hostfwd=tcp::2222-:22 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=net00
-drive if=virtio,format=qcow2,file=focal-server-cloudimg-amd64.img -drive
if=virtio,format=raw,file=seed.img -nographic
* Verify cloud-specific minimal builds still operate as intended (single boot,
no double boot fallback)
[Where problems could occur]
* The changes are forcing a boot without initramfs for all minimal
images. This was the default behavior before the March 12th change.
