Bug#1079792: linux-image-6.10.6-amd64: initrd.img image size too big

[Rodolfo García Peñas (kix) <kix@kix.es>]

Package: linux-image-6.10.6-amd64
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: kix@kix.es


Dear maintainer,

the initrd.img created by this kernel is too big. The image size for 6.9.8
was 63MB, but this image is more than 241MB:

root@pengah:/boot# ls -lart initrd*
total 318799
-rw-r--r--  1 root root  63315090 ago 15 11:43 initrd.img-6.9.8-amd64
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 241998940 ago 27 09:03 initrd.img-6.10.6-amd64
root@pengah:/boot# ls

Then, the install process fails:

Configurando initramfs-tools (0.142) ...
update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated)
Procesando disparadores para initramfs-tools (0.142) ...
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-6.10.6-amd64

E: mkinitramfs failure zstd -q -9 -T0 70
update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-6.10.6-amd64 with 1.
dpkg: error al procesar el paquete initramfs-tools (--configure):
 el subproceso instalado paquete initramfs-tools script post-installation devolvió el código de salida de error 1
Se encontraron errores al procesar:
 initramfs-tools
needrestart is being skipped since dpkg has failed
Error: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I have this issue in two computers, both using the standard partion
scheme proposed by the Debian installer, therefore, probably more users
will have the same problem.

Thanks a lot for your work,

Best Regards,
kix
