This kernel has been pretty awful for me. On my desktop it barfs while trying to build nvidia support via dkms, with some sort of signing error.
On my laptop, after install I get a 251Mb initrd after install, compared to the 44Mb initrd of the 6.7.12 kernel it replaced.
Is anyone else that is running debian testing seeing these issues?
Some initrd growth has definitely happened recently due to some kernel changes. I don't recall exactly what was added, maybe a bunch of firmware files or something. Looks like it is some enormous nvidia firmware files: https://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?p=804049#p804049 As for signing, I have never run the signed kernel as I have never turned on secureboot on any system, so signing issues have never been a problem. -- Len Sorensen
