This is down to initramfs-tools switching to zstd by default, which has
such huge memory requirements that it gets killed by OOM on the Zero 2
(and presumably the 3A+?) which only has 512MB of RAM. The default
should be switched back to lz4, at least on the Pi images.
Note to self: add a test for update-initramfs -u to the ISO tracker for
the Pi server images to ensure it gets tested across the platforms.
** Description changed:
When attempting to 'apt upgrade' on the pi zero 2 with the 64 bit Impish
image and nothing new installed to it, update-initramfs fails like so:
- Setting up linux-firmware (1.201.1) ...
- update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-5.13.0-1008-raspi
- Killed E: mkinitramfs failure zstd -q -19 -T0 137
+ Setting up linux-firmware (1.201.1) ...
+ update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-5.13.0-1008-raspi
+ Killed E: mkinitramfs failure zstd -q -19 -T0 137
+
+ A simple workaround for now is to switch to the old lz4 default:
+
+ $ sudo apt install lz4
+ $ sudo sed -i -e '/^COMPRESS=/ c COMPRESS=lz4' /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf
+
+ Original Workaround
+ ===================
Adding a swap file to the setup allowed 'apt -f install' to run
successfully.
How the device was setup
1) xzcat | dd the sdcard with the impish 64 bit server image
2) setup for serial over USB (dtoverlay=dwc2, modules-load=dwc2,g_serial, link getty at ttyGS0.service
) as suggested in https://www.tal.org/tutorials/raspberry-pi-zero-usb-serial-console
3) resize partition 2 - fdisk delete partition 2 and recreate to use the rest of the 16GB flash, e2fsck, resize2fs
4) cp bcm2710-rpi-3-b.dtb bcm2710-rpi-zero-2.dtb per https://waldorf.waveform.org.uk/2021/the-pi-zero-2.html
5) boot, connect to wireless, ssh in
6) apt update && apt upgrade
7) observe above issue
