Public bug reported:
The seems to be an error in the intel_microcode hook for initramfs update.
This breaks the initrd:
# file /boot/initrd.img-3.19.0-18-generic
/boot/initrd.img-3.19.0-18-generic: ASCII cpio archive (SVR4 with no CRC)
This is not the expected gzip file. I am not sure now, whether my system
is bootable.
Edit /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/intel_microcode. Put an "exit" right
after the comment header.
This will disable the hook and generate a gzipped cpio archive.
Xubuntu 15.04
initramfs-tools 0.103ubuntu15
I also checked an AMD-maschine. No Problems with the initrd.
