[GTALUG] Anyone else having issues with 6.9.12-1 kernel?

[Nick Accad]

I don't have the 6.7 kernel anymore, I am on Sid so things move a bit faster

I did notice that .10's initrd is huge, but when .12 came out, the sized
was halved

So maybe an experiment gone wrong?

$ ls -lhtr /boot/initrd.img-6.*


-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 252M Jul 20 11:58 /boot/initrd.img-6.9.10-amd64
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 123M Jul 29 16:49 /boot/initrd.img-6.9.12-amd64
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 123M Aug  6 10:17 /boot/initrd.img-6.10.3-amd64
$

This the default kernel with not extra dkms added at all
