[Bug 1970402] Re: Initrd out of memory error after upgrade to 22.04

[Steve Kowalik]

This bug is actually quite irritating. I've been unable to boot a new
laptop using the 22.04 media, *and* after successfully installing 21.10
and then upgrading to 22.04 results in this same error. Editing
initramfs.conf to switch to MODULES=dep with cryptsetup and lvm then
results in an initramfs that can not mount the root filesystem.

Now, I understand issues like this happen, but initramfs-tools is an
integral part of the install, and this bug has received ZERO attention
in two months. Surely we can do better.

Title:
  Initrd out of memory error after upgrade to 22.04

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After upgrading to 22.04 system is unbootable because of "out of memory" error when loading initial ramdisk. I was able to fix it by editing cat /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf
  and changing configuration to:
  MODULES=dep
  COMPRESS=xz
  RUNSIZE=15%

  Not sure which one helped, but I can test it if needed.
