Title: update-initramfs doesn't copy symlinked firmware files Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: In /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hook-functions, the firmware is copied to the initramfs using: cp -a "$firmware" "$target_dir" For symlinked firmware such as /lib/firmware/i915/skl_dmc_ver1.bin for Intel Skylake, this results in a copy of the symlink instead of the firmware file. update-initramfs then deletes the broken symlink before packaging. This needs to be replaced with a cp command that dereferences symlinks such as: cp -prL "$firmware" "$target_dir" I ran into this on vivid, but it is in wily as well.
