Title:
  No space left on device when trying to install a stock kernel image

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have no separate boot partition. Still when trying to install a
  kernel from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=N;O=D I
  get the following error message:

  xitcp: cannot create regular file
  '/var/tmp/mkinitramfs_uNlQUF//lib/firmware/nvidia/gp100/gr/fecs_data.bin':
  No space left on device

  If the initramfs filesystem isn't growable or big enough?
