initramfs-tools relies on udev to create device nodes, and that now
requires CONFIG_DEVTMPFS:
systemd (204-4) unstable; urgency=low
* Add preinst check to abort udev upgrade if the currently running kernel
lacks devtmpfs support. Since udev 176, devtmpfs is mandatory as udev no
longer creates any device nodes itself. This only affects self-compiled
kernels which now need CONFIG_DEVTMPFS=y. Closes: #722580
However this should also affect an initramfs newly built with
initramfs-tools 0.116.
Which version of udev is installed?
Did you rebuild the initramfs or revert to a backup version?

One of the nice things about standards is that there are so many of them.
