it sounds like you can't boot your system, but you will probably get better and more helpful suggestions if you can add a lot more details.

what were you trying to do when you got that message? has it happened before? did something change recently on your system that might have lead to that message?

zs5zk,

Welcome to LQ forums.

Open a Terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T), then copy & paste (to avoid typing errors) this command:

Code:
xed admin:///etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf
Press Enter.

In this file change COMPRESS=lz4 to COMPRESS=gzip

Click on Save.

Then use this command:

Code:
sudo update-initramfs -u
Reboot.
