Wow, that's still about twice as large as what I get on my
amd64/armhf/686 systems (I typically get about 40MB for MODULES=most and
10-12MB for MODULES=dep).
The compression algorithm in use makes some

Ah, thanks for the tip. I'll give that a try, as well as trying more
aggressive compression (thanks, Peter!).

To reduce size of initramfs I change the compression setting in
/etc/initramfs/initramfs.conf
and set it to “xz”
After that one needs to rebuild initramfs.

One nitpick: I believe that installing a new kernel means installing
the new kernel, and only if that is successful removing an old one.

I have had this problem, too, so thank you for bringing it up on the

It now appears that the automatic installer does not get size of /boot right -
even with only one new kernel update wanting to
