That's not much if you have more than a few kernels installed. They are
simply too fat nowadays, too many drivers included. And with the "most"
strategy (which you normally want to have a bootable system), they are
just too fat nowadays. I decided to let MY initramfs images go on diet
and added a little script which removes a few drivers that I certainly
don't need (checked with lsmod) and which contained lots of firmwares
and similar stuff.
So, one _might_ try that but only on your own risk, it could render your
system unbootable. I selected those three because they contributed most
to the overall usage (unpacked initramfs image with unmkinitramfs and
checking with "du|sort -n").
$ cat /etc/initramfs-tools/hooks/zz_drop_stuff
#!/bin/sh
if ! test "$DESTDIR"; then
. /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hook-functions
fi
set -x
#experiments: radeon infiniband lpfc qla2xxx qla4xxx cxgb4 drbd nfs bfa f2fs
xfs btrfs aic7xxx gma500
for nam in i915 amdgpu ethernet
do
find ${DESTDIR} -name $nam | xargs --no-run-if-empty rm -rv
done
#USEDMODPAT=$(lsmod | grep -v " 0 " | sed -e "s, .*,,;s,_,.,g;s,$,.ko,")
#for pat in $USEDMODPAT
#do
# find ${DESTDIR} | grep "/${pat}$" || echo "WARNING: $pat not found,
essential module missing!"
That script probably should be set executable.
Best regards,
Eduard.
