Same for me. I am on Ubuntu 19.10 with EFI Secure Boot and dual boot with Windows 10 (fastboot/hibernation disabled)
uname -a ... 5.3.0-26-generic #28-Ubuntu ... initramfs-tools are still configured to produce a LZ4 image (the default) dmesg | grep -i "error\|fail\|warn" [ 0.504105] Initramfs unpacking failed: Decoding failed [ 0.589422] i8042: Warning: Keylock active [ 6.677615] EXT4-fs (nvme0n1p3): re-mounted. Opts: errors=remount-ro Often booting fails but works after a couple of tries, resulting in this dmesg output. No clue, it exceeds my knowledge what's going on here. I fully reinstalled the kernel image and grub boot loader from the Live CD. -- 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.
