234MB? On this here machine it's more like 8MB for the kernel and 12MB for the initrd: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11557440 Dec 10 2023 initrd.img-6.1.0-13-amd64 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11668751 Jul 17 01:04 initrd.img-6.1.0-23-amd64 [...] -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8135584 Sep 29 2023 vmlinuz-6.1.0-13-amd64 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8173504 Jul 15 03:42 vmlinuz-6.1.0-23-amd64 FWIW, I have MODULES=dep COMPRESS=lzma in `/etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf`, which helps keep the size of the initrd in check.
