Title:
LRM: support LRM-only install with kernel snaps and network boot
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
When doing ephemeral network boot, for example with MAAS.
And when creating kernel snaps.
It can be desirable to install LRM kernel drivers, without installing
any other userspace.
For example:
* In case of MAAS network boot, vmlinuz is booted over the network,
modules are provided in the initrd, and copied into /lib/modules in
the tpmfs. But the actual packages linux-image-ABI / linux-modules-ABI
are not installed
* On Hybrid & FDE systems - whilst linux-modules-ABI may be installed,
linux-image-ABI are not installed.
* In case of kernel snaps, they stage -uc signed kernel.efi images and
do not use or care about having linux-image-ABI packages.
All of the above scenarios are usable with LRM NVIDIA kernel modules,
and at times even without any userspace dependencies, as those are
provided externally. For example nvidia-assemble snap provides
binutils.
Adapt LRM to support using NVIDIA kernel drives without linux-image-
ABI installed as a .deb, which currently is often needlessly pulled
in.
