Comment 3 for bug 2034066

Interesting @dbungret, thanks for your test!

What ISO did you try? Mine is downloaded from https://releases.ubuntu.com/22.04.3/ubuntu-22.04.3-live-server-amd64.iso - the md5sum is: 2072007c1d5b504c9a4858240e28e669

The comprehensive (quick) test for this:

1) wget https://releases.ubuntu.com/22.04.3/ubuntu-22.04.3-live-server-amd64.iso

2) Boot a qemu VM with the attached XML (a suggestion, of course), adding the CD-ROM as boot device 1.

3) Boot such VM using the virt-manager, and select the HWE kernel.

Alternatively to step (2)-(3), if you already have some qemu VM, you could install kexec-tools and mount such image inside the VM, then (let's assume the ISO is mounted as /mnt): kexec -s -l /mnt/casper/hwe-vmlinuz --initrd /mnt/casper/hwe-initrd --command-line="loglevel=8 console=ttyS0". With the VM console opened, then run "kexec -e" - with this kexec trick, I reproduced it here consistently.

Thanks again, and let me know if I can help with anything (testing stuff, collecting logs, etc)!

P.S. Maybe worth mentioning some versions of packages I'm running in my host system (Ubuntu 20.04):
