Hi,

1. you probably run out of disk space when writing initrd. After this
failed the space used by the incomplete initrd was probably released.

An initrd can easily be larger than 50M. So without the size of a kernel
there isn't already enough space for ~ 9 initrds, 470M / 55M = 8.55 .

Or less likely 2. on file systems that are smaller than ½G you can more
easily run out of inodes.

$ df -h --inodes

If no inode is left, you also get a "No space left on device" error.

Regards,
Ralf
