I have had this problem, too, so thank you for bringing it up on the list. > One solution I found is to change the initramfs compression algorithm, > which gives me space for two full kernels and initramfses. Can you (or someone) point me at the documentation that says how to change the compression algorithm? > Are there other solutions other than reinstall with a larger boot > partition? I've had the problem with /boot being too small on 2 systems. I tried reinstalling one of them so that I could get a larger /boot. And the installer did make /boot larger, but not as much as I wanted. IIRC, it went from 250M to 500M, whereas I wanted to give it at least 1 GB. I tried adjusting the sizes with the installer's partition manager, but I got stuck. Unfortunately, I don't have adequate notes about how I got stuck. I'm suspecting it had something to do with the fact that I had asked for a LUKS-encrypted disk. best wishes, mike
