Speaking of cloud-images generally I propose the following:

* Revert the livecd-rootfs change which "Unconditionally set

* Images with custom kernels can boot without an initram
No change is necessary on the linux-azure.

After thinking about this for some time, I propose that the "initrdfail"

Well, yes, it does boot on the second boot. Not trying to be contrarian
here, but isn't a moot point that booting on the first boot is the de
facto way things should work?

Thanks.
Yes, the design here is that, since we provide custom kernels for our
cloud partners which have all the drivers needed to boot built in,
loading an initrd is a waste of time at boot.
If someone is using a kernel other than the one we provide for the
cloud, or in the case of a bug, the system will

You may have a file /etc/default/grub.d/40-force-partuuid.cfg in your
system, that sets the grub var GRUB_FORCE_PARTUUID. If so, you can just
comment out that line, or remove the file, and run 'sudo update-grub'.
