Switching back to lz4, now I don't get the error! Maybe it's the newest kernel (.19 out today), or maybe it's just tweaking the decoding to gzip and back? Very strange.
Booting lz4 again Startup finished in 7.775s (firmware) + 7.947s (loader) + 2.136s (kernel) + 9.105s (userspace) = 26.965s graphical.target reached after 8.947s in userspace -- 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.
