Yeah if you remove the live_ram from the boot options. It boots...
Is there a rationale for removing the option? It came in super useful
for me a month or so back. I can't remember the exact issue but saved
the day for me when I finally found it.
If it had been removed, it wouldn't do anything. The fact that it's doing
something indicates that it's expected to still work, but broken. Please file a BZ.
