Source: debian-installer Version: 20230607+deb12u6 Severity: important Something changed recently in testing which caused the size of my initrd to go up A Lot, e.g., on one computer from 70MB to 248MB. As a result my boot partition was no longer big enough to handle two extant kernels plus the new kernel files being built by an install, so I had to reinstall my laptop from scratch to grow the boot partition. (I have a separate boot partition because I use LUKS encryption for my root filesystem etc.) When I ran the installer the size that the guided partitioning suggested for the /boot partition was _also_ too small, and I had to do manual partitioning to get a /boot partition that would be big enough (I made it 1GB). -- System Information: Debian Release: trixie/sid APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.9.9-amd64 (SMP w/16 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled
