Ubuntu 18 / RPI 4: No USB Storage in initrd

hk flag

I just updated my Ubuntu 18 in a Raspberry pi 4. And USB devices are not detected in the initrd phase.

I can see that initramfs.conf sets MODULES=most and that usb-storage and uas modules are present.

Even if I load them by hand from the initrd shell (dropbear) no USB devices are detected:

[ 1154.045506] usbcore: registered new interface driver usb-storage
[ 1154.050243] usbcore: registered new interface driver uas

When the typical output would be this one:

[27568553.887498] usb 2-2: new SuperSpeed Gen 1 USB device number 2 using xhci_hcd

This update has disabled something in the kernel/initrd but I have no clue what.

Any idea?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
