Which setting has changed in initramfs-tools, so initrd images are now almost 4 times bigger than before?
tom@ideapada:/var/log/apt$ cd /boot tom@ideapada:/boot$ ls -l initrd* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 60084701 Jun 4 17:37 initrd.img-6.8.12-amd64 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 60296117 Jul 11 22:21 initrd.img-6.9.8-amd64 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 238511041 Jul 19 09:48 initrd.img-6.9.9-amd64 tom@ideapada:/boot$ df -k /boot Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda5 587464 392880 151576 73% /boot /boot is followed by a lvm thing on a luks encrypted /dev/sda6. There is no proper gui for getting the extra space for a bigger /boot. Shrink the root fs, the lvm containing the root, shrink the crypted device and than move it to the right. I have a lot of boxes set up with 600mb /boot partition. For more than 15 years this was good enough.
