Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: initramfs-tools
According to changelog 0.98.8ubuntu1:
- Restore the framebuffer hook and script, copying KMS and other framebuffer
drivers into the initramfs, but make them optional; you need to set
FRAMEBUFFER=y for these to be included.
Availability of FRAMEBUFFER option was not documented and it seems to be
disabled by default.
The result is broken console fonts in framebuffer consoles (example, bug
750636). Console-setup script is not copied to initramfs if FRAMEBUFFER
is not set. Also console-setup in natty does not call setupcon from init
scripts. So console-setup does not have a chance to configure font and
all messages in non-english languages becomes unreadable.
** Affects: initramfs-tools (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
