I have a 500MB boot partition, and I keep only the linux and linux-lts kernels.

Recently I see that the partition only has about 23Mb free.

Is there some recent change which increased the kernel’s size significantly?

    I had the same issue, breaking the update, and the solution was something along the lines of:

    1. Edit /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf
    2. Change MODULES=most to MODULES=dep
    3. Update initramfs:
      sudo update-initramfs -u

    Although I think the cleanest way is to do it with an override config file in initramfs.conf.d, but do a bit of research on this.

    I guess that by not including all modules, there is a risk the program forgets one of the modules you needed, but so far it works for me, and images are now a lot lighter.

      hello, do you mean editing the MODULES in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf? since afaik and after searching in the arch wiki and in the arch packages, I couldn’t find mention of update-initramfs or /etc/initramfs-tools. This wiki page edits /etc/mkinitcpio.conf.
