Bug Description
The udev initramfs-tools script from trusty lts:
/usr/share/
does not check if uevent_helper does exist and fails to boot if it is missing - which it is in recent kernels (e.g. 4.7.2 from the mainline ppa or modern self build kernels where it is disabled per default afaik).
See e.g.: https:/
Its fixed in xenials version (latest LTS) but fails in current supported LTS trusty to boot.
Please backport those simple fix:
if [ -w /sys/kernel/
echo > /sys/kernel/
fi
and maybe add
udevadm settle || true
at the end to support kernels without uevent_helper enabled.
