So, #debian, in its infinite wisdom, has decided that an initramfs 247MiB in size is what it wants. Well, OK..? But now I can't fit two of them plus kernels etc on the 500MiB /boot that debian also created. Much disk shuffling ensues or my laptop is non-bootable.
I can't help thinking this a bug. That's an enormous size for initramfs, surely? How big is anyone else's?
