BTW, the increase of the initrd.img-* size over the last two years: -rw-r--r-- 1 62M 2023-12-19 03:08:02 initrd.img-6.1.0-16-amd64 -rw-r--r-- 1 99M 2025-09-15 02:32:06 initrd.img-6.7.12-amd64 -rw-r--r-- 1 104M 2025-08-11 23:40:35 initrd.img-6.12.38+deb13-amd64 -rw-r--r-- 1 168M 2025-09-18 12:52:40 initrd.img-6.16.7+deb14-amd64 (I'm keeping initrd.img-6.7.12-amd64 due to an issue with the later kernels.) -- Vincent Lefèvre <[email protected]> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Pascaline project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
