• [$] Last-minute /boot boost for Fedora 43

    From LWN.net@86:200/23 to All on Fri Oct 10 06:40:07 2025
    Sudden increases in the size of Fedora's initramfs
    files have prompted the project to fast-track a proposal to increase
    the default size of the /boot partition for new installs of
    Fedora˙43 and later. The project has also walked back a few
    changes that have contributed to larger initramfs files, but the ever-increasing size of firmware means that the need for more room is unavoidable. The Fedora Engineering Steering Council (FESCo) has
    approved a last-minute change
    just before the final freeze for Fedora˙43 to increase the
    default size of the /boot partition from 1GB to 2GB; this
    will leave plenty of space for kernels and initramfs images if a user
    is installing from scratch, but it is of no help for users upgrading
    from Fedora˙42.
