Comment 104 for bug 1842320

I don't have such "there is allways that machine (or bad firmware) that nobody heard of that will fail" case from my hand but it's frustrated if it becomes a blocker for fixing the bug for new devices from market.
However, I understand how users feel helpless if a SRU introduces a regression especially the bootloader.

I think it's worth to mention that, here are many users reported their certain real cases (as opposed to "there is allways that machine (or bad firmware) that nobody heard of that will fail") which causes their system not able to boot.

As we all known, Fedora and Arch linux are using higher compression rate (for initramfs) to avoid this issue.

I could try the upstream grub as soon as I can and to see if I can prepare such scheme as what the mailing thread mentioned but I afraid it'll definitely take times.

Anyway, if we can have some solutions for existing impacted user, then it'll very helpful.
