Your initramfs is *way* to big. Delete it manually, check whether the |
| 37 |
permissions of /boot are right (they should since it could copy the kernel), |
| 38 |
check whether your /boot partition is big enough (whether there is space |
| 39 |
enough left). Then try again your "genkernel" command. If the error above |
| 40 |
persists you have to find out its cause before going further. :-( |
