I fixed this error by updating my BIOS. Weird - I didn't have this issue
with prior versions including 16.04.4 but when I also tried 16.04.4, I
got the same problem. I might have been using an earlier 16.04.x where
this wasn't an issue. But again, in the end, the BIOS did the trick.

Title:
Unable to install 18.04 server AMD64 with targeted kernel: initramfs-
tools
Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Trying to install from: ubuntu-18.04-server-amd64.iso
at boot: F6->expert mode and F4->minimal VM
I go through the usual steps but when it comes to the "install the
system" phase, if I select normal (not live) and then "targeted", the
installation stops with an error on initramfs.
The error doesn't occur if I use a generic kernel instead of the
targeted one.
at that phase I'm not yet able to install reportbug so below you'll
find what I found in syslog. VM running under ESXi 6.7.
Thanks!
