Hi folks
Hi,

Well all is well after the previous  mess apart from one thing that i must
admit  i forgot to tackle on the reinstall a few days ago

my "/boot" partition is too small  300mb
ran into a problem last night pacman installing  kernel 6.7.0
While 300 MiB is not huge, it should be enough in most cases.

The issue you faced with kernel 6.7.0 is actually a mkinitcpio issue [1] that made initramfs files grow up in size significantly. Fortunately, this issue already has a patch already tested and merged. [2] :)

The main kernel built installed fine but the fall back errored out with no room
on  .

I have a spare empty partition sda2 of 40Gb sat doing nothing  can i grow the
boot partition to take some of that spare space    without risking another
reinstall
While you can look into increasing your /boot partition size to avoid eventual situations like this in the future, the next mkinitcpio release should reduce the initramfs files to a more reasonable size, fixing your issue at the same time :)

Sorry to be a pain right now but i got enough medical issues right now  and
this is just bugging me beyond  sanity

Any help would be greatfully received

Thanks Pete .
