I think your diagnosis is mistaken. The console-setup initramfs implementation (which I wrote) does not use setupcon, and it already lists the console-tools initramfs hook among its prerequisites which copies in the consolechars binary (used in place of setfont at present).
The bugs indicating that this didn't work properly in 7.04 are bug 84156 and bug 91422 (there were two independent problems). Please check that these bugs describe your symptoms, and if so mark this bug as a duplicate of one of them. ** Changed in: console-setup (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: initramfs-tools => console-setup -- initramfs contains console-setup hook w/o setupcon and setfont https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/124483 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
