I don't know then. Did you check the bugs mentioned in the changelog? I |
| 8 |
think at least one of them was a size bug. It may or may not apply. |

The other possible alternative might be to consider whether you actually |
| 11 |
need that initramfs or not. Often, you won't, provided you build the |
| 12 |
appropriate modules into the kernel and/or use an appropriate kernel |
| 13 |
command line. One exception is root on lvm2, since that requires |
| 14 |
userspace. However, here, while I run both kernel md/mdp RAID and LVM2, |
| 15 |
I deliberately kept my root filesystem off of LVM, thus avoiding an |
| 16 |
initramfs. root is on RAID (mdp), but that can be assembled by the |
| 17 |
kernel directly, using parameters fed to it at the commandline (or since |
| 18 |
2.6.28 IIRC, as compiled in command line parameters). |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
No initramfs seriously decomplicates things. |

|
| 22 |
But who am I to say? It's your system, not mine. It's worth considering |
| 23 |
tho. |
