I used the buster installer about 1 year ago,with a fully encrypted

a /boot/efi partition, a /boot partition then an encrypted lvm.
/boot is now not large enough to even have 2 kernels on it,
initramfs-tools cannot create the images.
I see this
/dev/nvme0n1p2 237M 92M 133M 41% /boot
/dev/nvme0n1p1 511M 5.3M 506M 2% /boot/efi
Is it possible to reduce /boot/efi and have some more room for /boot, or
should I reinstall the computer ?
Perhaps you can make the partition larger, using an external version of
gparted.
Download gparted and burn it to a cd or a bootable usb stick and make the
partition bigger. This will not destroy the data on the partition, but
it can
give you as much extra space as you need. You will, of course, have to
shrink the partition that is next on the drive to make room for this
operation.
You can do that without losing data on the other partition, assuming it is
not already full. gparted will caution you about the possible loss of data,
but typically there is no loss in doing these operations. These functions
will take a few minutes, so be patient.
