Bug description:
  Very similar to other bugs, may be the same.  I added a new one due to the 0.122ubuntu8.1 vice just ubuntu8 bit.  I have no idea what any of this means, just trying to be helpful if it is a new bug...
  Information I think might be important:
  I was running Ubuntu Server 16.04 on a Raspberry Pi 3B+.  The pi has an SD card with BerryBoot on it, and Ubuntu Server was installed on an external USB Hard Drive.  I ran "do-release-upgrade" as recommended by the prompt after logging in, as it stated Ubuntu 18.04 was available.  The upgrade process appeared to be running smoothly until I received an error that the root device could not be found.  I was given Ctrl-C or Enter to Continue options, and I pushed enter.  The initramfs bug I am reporting came after that.  Not sure if they are related or not...
