Emiliano, I genuinely don't know what the problem might be. It seems
like the kernel is failing to unzip the initramfs. This suspect is
supported by the fact that your 4.6 kernel can actually proceed until
the same initramfs gets mounted (and then it fails to mount /, since
it cannot find kernel modules, obviously...)

However, I have been using the very same kernel (the amd64 version, to
be precise) on my own laptop for ages now, without any issue. It boots
properly, and runs properly. The corresponding initrd is in gzip
format, and in /boot/config-4.7.0-0.bpo.1-amd64 I find:

....
CONFIG_RD_GZIP=y
CONFIG_RD_BZIP2=y
CONFIG_RD_LZMA=y
CONFIG_RD_XZ=y
CONFIG_RD_LZO=y
CONFIG_RD_LZ4=y
....

I assume you have checked your /boot/config-4.7.0-xxxxxx
