Note that we did switch to lz4 compression starting in 19.10. This is configurable via /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf, so you could workaround it by returning to gzip. Why 4.14.y would be a snowflake here isn't clear.

She followed up with 4.19, 5.4 and 5.9 kernel, with no issue. She suspects the issue is related to compress/decompress initramfs image. She tried all LZO, F2FS config options. She reports that she made sure to have CONFIG_DECOMPRESS_LZ4 and CONFIG_F2FS_FS_LZ4 enabled. She has run into this once when she upgraded to 20.04, which she solved by enabling CONFIG_DECOMPRESS_LZ4 at that time. She is very willing to help debug.
