Still works fine (and it required some mangling of the kernel command line).

If we summarize:

  - You initially just dumped a panic and a link to your QA, without any
    more context:

  - Then stating that you're not doing any test, really;

  - Well, except for booting Ubuntu, but no other modification

  - But you're not booting the standard image

  - And with a custom initrd

  - And that QA link states that you're booting from QEMU, but you're
    not.

Please provide a full documentation on what you're doing to generate
that image, from scratch, in order to get that panic you reported
previously.

I've spent an entire day trying to make sense of what you're doing
exactly to get into that situation. I have other things to work on and I
don't plan on figuring out any random CI system.
