Title:
  Initrd doesn't have proper compress format

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  It is very similar to the bug
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/1462788
  reported about 3 years ago.

  I'm using an up-to-date Xubuntu 18. The system is still bootable. But
  I couldn't extract initramfs:

  root at Chrom-agent:/tmp# file /boot/initrd.img-4.15.0-22-generic 
  /boot/initrd.img-4.15.0-22-generic: ASCII cpio archive (SVR4 with no CRC)

  After removed /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/intel_microcode and
  regenerated initramfs, the initrd could be recognized by compress
  utility.

  Ubuntu 18.04 LTS 
  initramfs-tools 0.130ubuntu3
