Title:
  Generates unbootable initrd: Out of Memory Error

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I am currently using Cosmic (which is not released yet) and version
  0.131ubuntu10 of "initramfs-tools" always generates unbootable initrd.
  After I select the kernel to boot during GRUB it says: "Loading
  initial ramdisk... Error: Out of memory". And then it halts forever.

  This issue appears on all kernel versions.

  The system is on UEFI + GPT.

  Note that I don't have a swap partition on my system, but I don't
  think it's the cause.
