** Description changed: - ehci-platform is the USB host driver for several platform and also - available in Xenial HWE kernel, but initramfs does not copy it into - initrd and system can not boot from USB storage on that machine. + [Impact] + If you install Ubuntu onto USB storage behind a Platform USB host controller, it will not be able to boot because the generated initramfs will not include the host controller driver. + + [Test Case] + Install to a USB stick attached to platform USB controller and reboot. Booting will fail because it will be unable to find the root file system. + + [Regression Risk] + Driver is only loaded when system requires ehci-platform, minimizing the impact to all other systems.
