Public bug reported:
SRU Justification:
Impact: currently it's not possible to boot Azure instances without an
initrd. The flexibility of booting an instance without an initrd is
important to reduce boot time.
Fix: Make the modules hv_vmbus and hv_storvsc built-in in the Azure
kernel.
Testcase:
- Edit the grub.cfg file and remove the initrd entry.
- Change the root= parameter to use the partition path instead of the partion
UUID (the initramfs is usually responsible for fetching those information about
disks and partitions).
- If necessary, add rootfstype=ext4 to the kernel parameters.
- After rebooting the system should be available.
NOTE: This report is to track changes made to the azure custom kernel
which cannot be correctly represented in launchpad.
