Comment 0 for bug 1597762

As per summery, I've been trying to get iniitramfs-tools to behave properly on Ubuntu 16.04 for hours and after process of elimination I've found that it's the intel-microcode hooks which are causing problems with update-initramfs, it basically leaves everything else but the microcode update binary and leaves out everything else and causes it to ignore the initramfs compression settings. If you need any more information or logs, please let me know.
