[Bug 1792294] Re: Generates unbootable initrd: Out of Memory Error

[Mengyao Xie]

Hi Kai-Chuang Yan,

I have the same problem when I want to change the system's kernel
version.

After compiling the Kernel 4.20, I update-grub and reboot. However, it
says: "Loading initial ramdisk... Error: Out of memory".

What did you mean that this bug is fixed in the 0.131ubuntu15?

Thanks!

Title:
  Generates unbootable initrd: Out of Memory Error

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I am currently using Cosmic (which is not released yet) and version
  0.131ubuntu10 of "initramfs-tools" always generates unbootable initrd.
  After I select the kernel to boot during GRUB it says: "Loading
  initial ramdisk... Error: Out of memory". And then it halts forever.

  This issue appears on all kernel versions.

  The system is on UEFI + GPT.

  Note that I don't have a swap partition on my system, but I don't
  think it's the cause.
