[Bug 1840422] [NEW] Boot fail: Loading initial ramdisk... Error: Out of memory

[Mengyao Xie]

Public bug reported:

Hi all,

I want to upgrade the system's kernel version to 4.20.

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

I can successfully boot the system by using the old kernel version.

So, how to fix this problem?
