Ubuntu 20.04 on DualBoot fail 90% of tries - Initramfs unpacking failed: Decoding failed
I just installed Ubuntun 20.04 on a Dell Latitude 7400 on DualBoot.
I had to remove the RST as mentioned on this post : https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ubuntu-installation-on-computers-with-intel-r-rst-enabled/15347
It works but now I need to test 5 or more times to boot.
After the grub screen, most of the time i have a black screen.
Sometimes I have this error :
Initramfs unpacking failed: Decoding failed
And then it starts.
here is a file called initramfs.conf
cat /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf
MODULES=most
BUSYBOX=auto
COMPCACHE_SIZE=""
COMPRESS=lz4
DEVICE=
NFSROOT=auto RUNSIZE=10%
Solution 1:
seems to be a widespread problem. you might look into this post:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1835660
Somebody there suggests to change lz4 to gzip (comment #73) in the file mentioned by you
/etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs
Pls update because I have the same problem
