Title:
  Init corrupted when running 4.15.0-42

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When upgrading from 4.15.0-39 to 4.15.0-42 on my Ubuntu 18.04.1 NAS
  (x86_64) I get the following error on system bootup (freeze):

  Failed to execute /init (error -2)
  Kernel panic - not syncing: no working init found. 

  So apparently the init is broken.

  My solution was to remove 4.15.0-42

  sudo apt remove linux-image-4.15.0-42 
  sudo apt autoremove

  and, thus, automatically go back to 4.15.0-39 which works fine.

  The autoremove removed amd64-microcode, intel-microcode iucode-tool
  and thermald which appear to be needed by -42 only.
