Ah, good—you're a regular here, and more likely to respond.
Some of us are perplexed as to why 500MB is rather little,
or IOW, why are some initrd.img files so huge. The OP's are
bigger than 150MB, and their lsinitramfs listing could make
interesting here, but seems unlikely to be posted. Could you
elaborate on your experience?

Cheers,
