[Bug 1597762] Re: intel-microcode initramfs-tools hooks mangle initramfs

 

apport information

** Tags added: apport-collected xenial

** Description changed:

- As per summery, I've been trying to get iniitramfs-tools to behave
- properly on Ubuntu 16.04 for hours and after process of elimination I've
- found that it's the intel-microcode hooks which are causing problems
- with update-initramfs, it basically leaves everything else but the
- microcode update binary and leaves out everything else and causes it to
- ignore the initramfs compression settings.  If you need any more
- information or logs, please let me know.
