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] :)
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 :)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
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 .
