as of 10/12/2019 eoan 19.10, Ubuntu, Lubuntu, Xubuntu still have this issue.
What I do to "fix" it is change: COMPRESS=lz4, to COMPRESS=gzip, @: /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf, then sudo update-initramfs -u. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1835660 Title: initramfs unpacking failed Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: "initramfs unpacking failed: Decoding failed", message appears on boot up.
