For sake of completeness, dmesg says: [ 0.476436] Trying to unpack rootfs image as initramfs... [ 0.559806] Initramfs unpacking failed: Decoding failed [ 0.565777] Freeing initrd memory: 46704K
Does that mean that the kernel is booting without using initramfs? I was also looking whether the initrd image needs to be signed in order to be used in a UEFI Secure Boot scenario. But I couldn't find any information on whether Ubuntu's initramfs-tools or other scripts sign initrd, it surely comes with signed kernel images which seem to work fine. Anyway, booting my machine is still a dice rolling experiment. -- 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.
