Comment 20 for bug 1714505

in zesty lxd container built initrd without -proposed di-utils and initrd with -proposed di-utils:

ubuntu@build-zesty:~/debian-installer-20101020ubuntu504/build$ make USE_UDEBS_FROM_EXTRA="zesty-security zesty-updates" build_netboot
...
ubuntu@build-zesty:~/debian-installer-20101020ubuntu504/build$ cp dest/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/initrd.gz ~/initrd-fail.gz

ubuntu@build-zesty:~/debian-installer-20101020ubuntu504/build$ make reallyclean
...
ubuntu@build-zesty:~/debian-installer-20101020ubuntu504/build$ make build_netboot
...
ubuntu@build-zesty:~/debian-installer-20101020ubuntu504/build$ cp dest/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/initrd.gz ~/initrd-fixed.gz

person who reported this to me tested both; automated install using their preseed configuration fails on system with nvme drive using initrd-fail.gz, succeeds using initrd-fixed.gz
