Title:
  New kernel failed to boot after upgrade to Ubuntu 25.04(plucky) on
  iMac14,4

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  After upgrading from Ubuntu 24.10 to 25.04 on my iMac14,4
  (https://linux-hardware.org/?probe=304fb711c1), the new
  kernel(6.14.0-22-generic) would not boot from grub.

  When trying to boot into recovery mode with the new kernel it gets
  stuck at `Loading initial ramdisk...`.

  After discussing with ChatGPT I also tried the following kernel
  parameters "intel_iommu=on iommu=pt i915.force_probe=bdw irqpoll
  initcall_debug ignore_loglevel no_console_suspend debug log_buf=10M
  efi=debug earlyprintk=vga,keep nomodeset", but they also failed.

  I was able to boot fine with linux-image-6.11.0-28-generic.

  Booting into the Ubuntu 25.04 LiveUSB also failed on this machine (but
  works fine on my HP laptop which upgraded successfully).

  After discussing with ChatGPT I tried booting the new kernel with
  kexec, and this got me to gdm3 login, but didn't load input device
  drivers.

  Not sure how to progress this further as I haven't been able to get
  any useful error logs from a failed boot of the kernel from grub. Not
  sure if its a kernel configuration problem with the new kernel, or a
  kernel bug. I guess a next step could be trying with an intermediate
  version of the kernel and try and discover which version of the kernel
  introduced this problem. But I don't have time for this right now.

  There is one other iMac14,4 on the linux hardware database that has
  successfully booted a 6.11+ kernel here: `https://linux-
  hardware.org/?probe=0d1404551f`. It is using v6.12.9-desktop-1omv2490
  from OpenMandriva 25.01.
