I took LVM out of the initramfs hooks, and the initrd is down to a little over 4M: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4784700 Jan 27 13:39 /boot/initrd.img-4.19.0-10-marvell So I think that can be done? If not, is there a reference for the u-boot commands so I can see how to put together a bootcmd using TFTP? I have also seen instructions for using USB/FAT, but I'm not sure I am willing to rely on that just yet. Thanks, Luigi
