Comment 50 for bug 1838886

Hi,
using the "-proposed" thingie in Bionic with the HWE kernel did not work even after the last query.

So I did it the hard way (without any PPA used with APT/APT-GET). I downloaded the kernel manually and installed the following files:

root@sirius:~/kernel-pkg# ls -l
total 66160
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10758372 Oct 4 13:58 linux-headers-5.0.0-32_5.0.0-32.34_all.deb

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 33478212 Oct 4 13:58 linux-modules-extra-5.0.0-32-generic_5.0.0-32.34_amd64.deb

After removing the special module params and rebuilding initramfs, the kernel booted perfectly and ums-realtek worked.

The module-info was correct:

So I can confirm the HWE kernel in 18.04 is fine, too.

Nevertheless, I have no idea if or why the bionic default kernel was affected at all. I opened the issue only on the HWE kernel, so maybe the kernel bot should be improved to actually understand before sending stupid messages to me about stuff I can't check.

I will add the disco verification. I will keep the bionic verification and set it back to the default, although I can't test it. I will remove the bionic-verification failed tag.
