Hello, I'm currently on kernel 6.9.8 (amd64 / Sid). Installing 6.9.9 fails due to running out of space on /boot:
***** update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-6.9.9-amd64 zstd: error 70 : Write error : cannot write block : No space left on device E: mkinitramfs failure zstd -q -9 -T0 70 update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-6.9.9-amd64 with 1. ***** It turns out that the initrd for 6.9.9 is more than 7x the size of the one for 6.9.8! ***** ~$ ls -l /boot/initrd.img* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 27491557 Jul 8 13:45 /boot/initrd.img-6.9.8-amd64 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 205739589 Jul 16 14:29 /boot/initrd.img-6.9.9-amd64 ***** Diffing the two initrd files suggests that the problem stems from the fact that 6.9.9 is including the NVIDIA GPU System Processor (GSP) firmware in the initrd: https://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/510.39.01/README/gsp.html Arch dealt with this 6 months ago - they claim that the problem actually began in kernel 6.7: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=291900 https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/mkinitcpio/mkinitcpio/-/issues/238 I'm not sure why I'm hitting this now - did Debian just change something? Is anyone else hitting this? Is this documented somewhere? Is there a straightforward fix / workaround? -- Celejar
