** Description changed: - The installer (in 16.04 and 17.10) creates a separate /boot partition, - when required, of only 487M. This ends up being rather small when you - using the following equation to estimate a minimal size allowing for - reasonable room for further growth. + [Impact] + All new installs of 16.04. + + [Test case] + 1) Install Ubuntu 16.04 on a system + 2) Validate that the size of the /boot partition is greater than or equal to 512MB; should be somewhere between 512MB and 1GB, close to 768MB. + + [Regression potential] + This may adversely affect installs on tiny disks, by taking up more space for the /boot partition than was previously taken, at the cost of / or /home. As such, failures to install due to insufficient space on a partition, or failure to partition a disk that was previously working should be investigated as possible regressions. + + --- + + + The installer (in 16.04 and 17.10) creates a separate /boot partition, when required, of only 487M. This ends up being rather small when you using the following equation to estimate a minimal size allowing for reasonable room for further growth.
