[Bug 1496163] Re: i915 firmware is not copied to initrd

Andy, I spotted the problem: Line 120 in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hook-functions: cp -a "$firmware" "$target_dir" `cp -a` copies the symlink itself rather than the target it points to, so we end up with a broken symlink in initramfs and no actual firmware file. The fix that comes to mind

[Bug 1496163] Re: i915 firmware is not copied to initrd

Yes the way we copy firmware into the initramfs we simply copy the top level link and do not carry the targets at all. Later we sensibly get rid of hanging symlinks leaving no sign of the firmware. I suspect we should be iterating over the link copy its components. -- You received this bug
