If this is indeed the same issue we saw in LP: #1840122, I think the only sane way to fix this is to proceed in the same way as we did in eoan - adding a finalrd dependency to casper. This would need pulling in finalrd into main, but I guess that was the plan already. Hopefully the MIR review should be fairy quick, as finalrd is the same across as in disco.
Let me reach out to the MIR team about this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1860559 Title: [18.04.4] System fails to reboot after installation Status in casper package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in casper source package in Bionic: Confirmed Status in linux source package in Bionic: Confirmed Bug description: bionic desktop 20190122 Since bionic 20191211 the system doesn't reboot after installation. After pressing enter to reboot, the system hangs. There is this message printed in a loop on the console: [sdb] tag#0 access beyond end of device (in this context sdb is the USB stick) 20191211 includes a new kernel and a new gcc This is similar to bug 1840122 in 19.10 which started with the upgrade from kernel 5.0 to kernel 5.2. Although the error message displayed on the console was different on baremetal, it is identical in a VM. Installing finalrd helps to work around the issue. However in Bionic, finalrd is in universe.
