Public bug reported:
After getting the latest kernel update, the system keeps booting into a
console that says (initramfs), and no amount of any commands helps gets
past this.
Previous version kernel before it boots fine.
I'm willing to help figure out what's happened if someone is willing to
help guide me through it, I'm no stranger to compiling code or getting
debug information.
Thanks in advance.

4) What happened instead: Booted into a console that contains
(initramfs) that doesn't let me progress further.
