*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 1863261 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1863261
I do not believe this is a duplicate; It is more likely a *packaging* issue. The question remains for this bug, why does it only appear in the focal kernels; but not Eoan or older? And if someone could confirm whether or not the linux-generic or linux- modules generate this file and when (unpack, deb postinst, kernel install hook?) Another reason why this isn't a duplicate as the error message is unrelated to the contents of the initrd, but rather when depmod -a -S is called (postins of linux-modules package). On Eoan we can remove the file in question and regenerate the file with: depmod -a -F /boot/System.map-5.3.0-40-generic; this command does not produce the error message on any release expect Focal. # eoan root@rharper-e1:~# cat /etc/issue Ubuntu 19.10 \n \l root@rharper-e1:~# dpkg --list | grep linux- ii linux-base 4.5ubuntu2 all Linux image base package ii linux-firmware 1.183.4 all Firmware for Linux kernel drivers ii linux-generic 5.3.0.40.34 amd64 Complete Generic Linux kernel and headers ii linux-headers-5.3.0-40 5.3.0-40.32 all Header files related to Linux kernel version 5.3.0 ii linux-headers-5.3.0-40-generic 5.3.0-40.32 amd64 Linux kernel headers for version 5.3.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP ii linux-headers-generic 5.3.0.40.34 amd64 Generic Linux kernel headers ii linux-image-5.3.0-40-generic 5.3.0-40.32 amd64 Signed kernel image generic ii linux-image-generic 5.3.0.40.34 amd64 Generic Linux kernel image ii linux-modules-5.3.0-40-generic 5.3.0-40.32 amd64 Linux kernel extra modules for version 5.3.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP ii linux-modules-extra-5.3.0-40-generic 5.3.0-40.32 amd64 Linux kernel extra modules for version 5.3.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP root@rharper-e1:~# rm /lib/modules/5.3.0-40-generic/modules.builtin.bin root@rharper-e1:~# depmod -a -F /boot/System.map-5.3.0-40-generic 5.3.0-40-generic root@rharper-e1:~# ls -al /lib/modules/5.3.0-40-generic/modules.builtin.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9943 Mar 2 15:03 /lib/modules/5.3.0-40-generic/modules.builtin.bin # On focal this errors: root@rharper-f1:~# cat /etc/issue Ubuntu Focal Fossa (development branch) \n \l root@rharper-f1:~# dpkg --list | grep linux- ii linux-5.4-headers-5.4.0-14 5.4.0-14.17 all Header files related to Linux kernel version 5.4.0 ii linux-base 4.5ubuntu2 all Linux image base package ii linux-firmware 1.186 all Firmware for Linux kernel drivers ii linux-generic 5.4.0.14.17 amd64 Complete Generic Linux kernel and headers ii linux-headers-5.4.0-14-generic 5.4.0-14.17 amd64 Linux kernel headers for version 5.4.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP ii linux-headers-generic 5.4.0.14.17 amd64 Generic Linux kernel headers ii linux-image-5.4.0-14-generic 5.4.0-14.17 amd64 Signed kernel image generic ii linux-image-generic 5.4.0.14.17 amd64 Generic Linux kernel image ii linux-modules-5.4.0-14-generic 5.4.0-14.17 amd64 Linux kernel extra modules for version 5.4.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP ii linux-modules-extra-5.4.0-14-generic 5.4.0-14.17 amd64 Linux kernel extra modules for version 5.4.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP root@rharper-f1:~# ls -al /lib/modules/5.4.0-14-generic/modules.builtin.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10257 Mar 2 15:01 /lib/modules/5.4.0-14-generic/modules.builtin.bin root@rharper-f1:~# set -o vi root@rharper-f1:~# rm /lib/modules/5.4.0-14-generic/modules.builtin.bin root@rharper-f1:~# depmod -a -F /boot/System.map-5.4.0-14-generic 5.4.0-14-generic depmod: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod.c:515 lookup_builtin_file() could not open builtin file '/lib/modules/5.4.0-14-generic/modules.builtin.bin' depmod: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod.c:515 lookup_builtin_file() could not open builtin file '/lib/modules/5.4.0-14-generic/modules.builtin.bin' depmod: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod.c:515 lookup_builtin_file() could not open builtin file '/lib/modules/5.4.0-14-generic/modules.builtin.bin' depmod: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod.c:515 lookup_builtin_file() could not open builtin file '/lib/modules/5.4.0-14-generic/modules.builtin.bin' -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1864992 Title: depmod: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod.c:515 lookup_builtin_file() could not open builtin file '/lib/modules/5.4.0-14-generic/modules.builtin.bin' Status in curtin: Invalid Status in subiquity: New Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: During a Focal install from the ISO image several errors like: depmod: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod.c:515 lookup_builtin_file() could not open builtin file '/lib/modules/5.4.0-14-generic/modules.builtin.bin' are logged in curtin's install logs. The installed system boots and works fine, but the error is clearly something we want to get rid of. At first glance this seems related to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/1863261 but the version of initramfs-tools in both the installer and installed system (checked with `chroot /target dpkg -l initramfs-tools` during the installation) is 0.136ubuntu1, which should contain Rafael's fix for that bug. I wonder if the update-initramfs diversion has a role here. I verified this happens at least on amd64 and arm64. I'm attaching the full install logs for a amd64 installation. --- ProblemType: Bug AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version k5.4.0-14-generic.
