Hello Juerg, or anyone else affected,

Accepted initramfs-tools into trusty-proposed. The package will build
now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-
tools/0.103ubuntu4.9 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed
repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-trusty to verification-done-trusty. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-trusty. In either case, details of your
testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

As trusty can use the 4.4 kernel (via lts-xenial), this needs
backporting to trusty initramfs-tools also, please.

[Bug 1712491] Re: Add backported bnxt driver to the initramfs

[Juerg Haefliger]

This is looking great so far.  Instance booted nicely, no signs of a
kernel panic.  The driver was happily picked up in the initramfs.  I'm
going to run it through some stress-ng tests to make sure everything is
fine but we're off to a good start.

Note that the driver currently only exists in xenial 4.4.0 kernel so
this is only being applied to xenial and artful at this time.

[Bug 1712491] Re: Add backported bnxt driver to the initramfs

[Juerg Haefliger]

** Description changed:

- We're adding a backported bnxt driver to Xenial (LP #1711056). It's an
- alternate for the regular Xenial driver that only manages NICs that are
- not supported by the regular Xenial driver. But it's a boot-critical
- driver so it needs to be added to the initramfs.
+ [Impact]
+ We're adding a backported bnxt driver to Xenial (LP #1711056). It's an 
alternate for the regular Xenial driver that only manages NICs that are not 
supported by the regular Xenial driver. Since the backported driver lives in 
the special location kernel/ubuntu/bnxt it's not automatically included in the 
initramfs. But it's boot-critical so it needs to be added to the initramfs.

+ [Test Case]
+ Install the Xenial kernel on hardware that contains a newer Broadcom NIC and 
boots over that NIC. The machine will not come up because the NIC is not 
recognized.
+ 
+ [Regression Risk]
+ The driver is only loaded for newer Broadcom NICs. Older NICs are still 
managed by the regular Xenial driver, so there should be no regression.
