Bug#960181: pigz: abort: write error on <stdout> (No space left on device)

It is weird that mkinitramfs reports no space left on device, but df does not confirm this. So it might be "another" device (like initramfs?). I am aware that I include a virtualbox module with dkms
df does, in a fashion confirm it. It shows 91% in use for /boot. The
issue is that you are probably attempting to another kernel version into
/boot. Try removing previous versions to free up space.
I had a similar problem where my initramfs became big due to too many
firmware files being included, and therefore couldn't fit multiple
initramfs variants in /boot.
