Description:	Ubuntu 23.04

Problem:
--------
Kernel installs. But update-initramfs fails.
I am expecting being able to start my computer with new kernel.

Comments:
---------
- I have try to make a bigger /boot partition with no success.
- I have check inode usage during installation by monitoring via 'watch -n0 "df -i /boot"', and nothing happens. No space usage, no writing. And it is puzzling me because the error message stress on that the problem is "cpio: writing error: no space left on device".
