Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.137
Severity: important
Hi,
Every time I try to upgrade my system there is a very high chance it does not
reach the end because of the error mentioned in the subject line. The usable
space of the partition is 237MiB. I made a few calculations and realized that
the size of each set of kernel, initrd and system.map is around 85.2MiB.
Considering also GRUB files, /boot is left with 130MiB. With such free space
available, a second set of boot files should be able to fit inside there.
Then why most of the times I have to uninstall the currently running kernel in
order to install the new?
Or, when updating a module on the same kernel, remove the previous kernel that
I keep as a backup in /boot?
Is mkinitramfs using /boot as working directory when generating the initrd, and
running out of space in the middle of the process?
If that's the cause, can the working directory be changed?
