The initrd file produced by "update- initramfs" cannot be unpacked with cpio: $ file /boot/initrd.img-4.4.0-36-generic /boot/initrd.img-4.4.0-36-generic: ASCII cpio archive (SVR4 with no CRC) $ stat /boot/initrd.img-4.4.0-36-generic | grep Size Size: 45048327 Blocks: 87988 IO Block: 1024 regular file $ cpio -id < /boot/initrd.img-4.4.0-36-generic 44 blocks $ tree ./ ./ └── kernel └── x86 └── microcode └── GenuineIntel.bin $ du -sh kernel/ 36K kernel/ On another machine, the initrd (same version) is a gzip'ed archive (this one isn't) and unpacks just fine. On this machine, with this initrd, I also have a problem as explained in bug 1638983, so it could be related. Decided to file another bug for initrd.
