You can try to backup /boot first and boot a live USB (e.g., Ubuntu or GParted Live). Then open GParted, shrink / (root), and expand /boot to 1GB. And you can reboot to os. This is safer than tweaking mkinitcpio.conf. Your Intel GPU (i915) will work fine—no need to add xe. ---- Replied Message ---- FromBrian Keck<bwkeck3@gmail.com>Date09/24/2025 21:50 Toarch-general@lists.archlinux.org<arch-general@lists.archlinux.org> CcBrian Keck<bwkeck@gmail.com>Subject/boot full Last time (24 Aug) I updated arch on my laptop, /boot filled up. [1] There was a message saying that the build of /boot/initramfs-linux-fallback.img failed [1] [2] seems to say to adjust /etc/mkinitcpio.conf by dropping kms from HOOKS & adding i915 to MODULES. But this makes me nervous, so I'm asking here. Laptop has only Intel graphics [3], & lsmod shows both i915 & xe. I'm using both X11 & Wayland. Is the above advice good? Should I add xe to MODULES as well?
