That does not seem like a gzip problem.  It seems like your filesystem
does not have enough free space.  If /boot is a separate partition on
your system, try removing some kernel packages you no longer use.

Right.  The error from gzip likely relates to creation of the initramfs
image, which has to go in /boot.

If there isn't even room for 2 versions of the kernel and initramfs in
/boot, another option would be to reduce the size of the initramfs by
setting MODULES=dep (see initramfs.conf(5)).

I think it uses /tmp as well. Do you have enough of space on /tmp?
