I doubt the initramfs is (completely) at fault, mine is rather small (and I haven't done anything to try to minimize its size): $ lsinitcpio -a /boot/initr

- microcolonel 7y agoMine (same arch kernel) is twice the size, both compressed and uncompressed, for what it's worth; I have a handful of vfio modules included explicitly, as well as amdgpu; so it's still doable. My fallback initramfs is a little over 128MiB compressed.
