v19.10 update to kernel version 5.3.0-26-generic fails

Bug description:
When I ran the Software updater on Jan 8, 2020, a security update from
kernel version 5.3.0-24-generic to 5.3.0-26-generic was installed.
When I rebooted the system, I was dumped to the boot-loaders busy-box
prompt. I tried also under the Advanced options for Linux where normal
and recovery mode versions of both v5.3.0-26-generic and
v5.3.0-24-generic were available. Both of the 5.3.0-26-generic
options also sent me to the busy-box prompt. However, when I tried
the 5.3.0-24-generic option I was able to get the system started, and
it seems to work normally.
Some additional observations:
While watching the messages when trying to get the 5.3.0-26 version
going I noticed that it was not able to find the file system for my
Ubuntu-Mate installation.
I also noticed that the size of the initrd.img-5.3.0-26-generic is
about 4 MBytes smaller than the initrd.img-5.3.0-24-generic.
Since the Ubuntu-Mate file system is in a LVM partition, I am
wondering if the initrd.img-5.3.0-26-generic lacks the capability to
see the LVM partition.
I have tried to figure out how to unpack the two initrd.img files to
see what the differences are, but none of the information I have seen
on the web about how to do this works on the Ubuntu versions of the
file.
My computer is a Dell XPS-13-9370.
