grub: "out of memory" -- time for systemd-boot?

Show all headers | View raw

So we have a new Linux workstations with this in it:

04:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8852CE PCIe 
802.11ax Wireless Network Controller (rev 01)

The wifi driver a) chugs, and b) throws LOTS of errors

So , I built 6.13 on the box.  Even though I'm using the Ubuntu
config for the kernel, the initrd is much larger:

_[/boot]_(root@buzz)🔴_
# ll initrd.img-6.8.0-51-generic 
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 179144039 Jan 22 11:40 initrd.img-6.8.0-51-generic
_[/boot]_(root@buzz)🔴_
# ll Hide/initrd.img-6.13.0 
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 534642362 Jan 23 10:57 Hide/initrd.img-6.13.0

I think this is why I get "out of memory" when Grub tries to
unpack the initrd.  However, googling around to figure out how
to fix this gives multiple causes/fixes, and I haven't yet hit
on the combination to boot the 6.13 kernel yet.

One fix is to stop faffing around with grub, and use systemd-boot.

Is anyone using systemd-boot with Linux Mint 22.1?

Other info:

Thanks,
