That test script is triggering the openqa job, but its running only
after lava is able to login. The trace is appearing before the login
prompt even, so test_mainline.sh should not matter here.
The only customization done to the default ubuntu image is the initrd.
Can you please try with the initrd from
https://elisa-builder-00.iol.unh.edu/kernel/mainline/rpi4/initrd.gz..
I will check with another board also.
