       The #Debian #Trixie release notes recommend /boot partition is at least 768 MB and has 300 MB free, but the /boot created by an earlier Debian installation is only 471M with ~150M free. Seems risky to try to resize an encrypted LVM. Somehow a laptop I upgraded a few months ago came out okay despite the same size of /boot

       @zash I have the same issue, but you can probably sudo delete the initrd files. The trick is to reboot so you can delete the old kernel, so the initrd file is not created during apt upgrade.

       @zash so:1. backups2. reboot into latest kernel3. apt remove older kernels manually4. reboot5. delete any remaining /boot/initrd* files that are larger than 100MB6. now you can apt dist-upgradeThis is how I have been doing it for years, because I'm too lazy to reinstall for a /boot resize and I don't like the idea of the resizing process.
