Known issue. Either start over with the most recent image or fix it by changing the compression algorythm of you ramdisk to gzip.

Some notes:

1. You only discuss focal problem, but i reproduce with buster, no newer images yet.

2. What real reason of problem? Only some update-initramfs failed, in my case only when i add 3 packages to it.

But it could be related. What if those packages changes compression and this is failing on (ARM? only)

Check what those packages do and check support terms before getting to exicted who has to fix problems https://github.com/armbian/build#support

Seems we exceed max ramdisk size:

0x44000000 - 0x43300000 = 13 MiB

I fixed issue by adding "load_addr=0x45000000" to /boot/armbianEnv.txt
