cyphermox uploaded patched packages to ppa:cyphermox/grub . Steps to assert this works are as follows:
- Boot a Yakkety EC2 image (https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/home?region=eu-central-1#launchAmi=ami-b87881d7) - Login - sudo apt-add-repository ppa:cyphermox/grub; sudo apt update; sudo apt-upgrade - reboot (assert the system comes back online with no modifications to the grub config) - login again - Get the PARTUUID for the image's disk: ls /dev/disk/by-partuuid/ (should be 6983c98a-01 on this particular image) - Add "GRUB_FORCE_PARTUUID=6983c98a-01" to /etc/default/grub - sudo update-grub - reboot (assert the system comes back online with a root=PARTUUID config) - login again - Add "GRUB_DISABLE_INITD=true" to /etc/default/grub. - sudo update-grub - reboot (assert the system comes back online with root=PARTUUID and no initrd) Currently the Xenial images we build don't expose partuuids (it's an artifact of CPC transitionning to a new build system, AFAIU). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1640878 Title: grub2 cannot currently generate configuration without initrd To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1640878/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
