I recall that on one of my machines I had exactly the same situation as reported in #20 and #21 up to the timings (5.3.0-26-generic in Ubuntu 19.10 with EFI Secure Boot and dual boot with Windows 10, fastboot/hibernation disabled, LZ4 image by default, booting failed often, booting succeeded upon reinstall with EFI secure boot). Unfortunately, I don't have this machine any longer. @mario-gleirscher would probably be of help if they provide us with some debugging when asked by the Ubuntu maintainers.
On another machine, I still have this annoying printf in dmesg (and journalctl -b): [ 0.215092] NET: Registered protocol family 1 [ 0.215096] NET: Registered protocol family 44 [ 0.215105] pci 0000:00:02.0: Video device with shadowed ROM at [mem 0x000c0000-0x000dffff] [ 0.215670] PCI: CLS 64 bytes, default 64 [ 0.215696] Trying to unpack rootfs image as initramfs...

As for me, this issue seems to simply uselessly burn processor cycles (and, as every such issue, indirectly generate superfluous carbon dioxide); there is a potential for optimization here. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1835660 Title: initramfs unpacking failed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/1835660/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
