Public bug reported:
The intel-microcode package seems to have caused my initrd to be
corrupt, only extracting the microcode bin file into
/kernel/microcode/x86/GenuineIntel.bin
With kernel 4.1 and earlier, this seems not to be an issue, and Ubuntu
can still load cryptsetup to decrypt an encrypted root (how I first
noticed this). However, as of kernel 4.2 this seems to no longer be the
case.
Attached is an initrd created with intel-microcode installed. file
detects it as an uncompressed cpio archive (as opposed to a gzip'd one
created without intel-microcode installed), and it only extracts a
'kernel' directory.
** Affects: intel-microcode (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Attachment added: "initrd file created with intel-microcode"
