Bug Description
That is due to the check for /boot ro status, since they look for the substring "ro" within /proc/mounts options column, which is also triggered by "group_id" (among others).
ro_boot_check()
{
[ -r /proc/mounts ] || return 0
....
workaround:
update-initramfs -c -k $(uname -r)

* Fix broken test in ro_boot_check (LP: #187282). It was matching ro
as a subword.
