It is not out of the range of imagination that one might need a 3GB partition (or even 4GB?) moving forward to avoid running into this all over again before the end of the decade unless these firmwares can be moved out of the single initramfs (I think grub and sdboot can both support multiple initrd's, so, in theory, we could just have one copy of the firmwares for all the kernels (there is a lot of handwaving in that theory)). -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
