But if you're using the kms hook, you still get nouveau in the fallback

The issue you faced with kernel 6.7.0 is actually a mkinitcpio issue
[1] that made initramfs files grow up in size significantly.
Fortunately, this issue already has a patch already tested and merged.

As detected a moment ago, the current git mkinitcpio version still

I thought I was old-fashioned for not using LVM and encrypting disk
data, e.g.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dm-crypt/
no doubt there are some use cases where an installation should be kept
as small as possible, but on an average desktop laptop computer or
server a GiB more or less doesn't matter these days. (…)

I just disabled the fallback image and the systemd-boot timeout (as I
never used them, I always have an Archiso USB stick on hand).

Hi,
You can modify COMPRESSION_OPTIONS in mkinitcpio.conf to add more
compression level.
Best regards

You may or may not choose to do this too.

While 300 MiB is not huge, it should be enough in most cases.
And note that 300 MB is recommended, while in reality you could go
even below that. I have a BIOS system with 128 MB “/boot”, with 45 MB
occupied by the images. So that’s certainly not you doing something
wrong or having a partitio

Hello,
it's not possible to expand a partition if you don't have free space
directly after it. It might however be possible to move it. Boot
partition is not necessarily that difficult to reconstruct, even from
scratch.
