Title: Azure: make it possible to boot without initrd Status in linux-azure package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: 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.
