Error 24 : Write error : cannot write compressed block

I am currently trying to compile and upgrade my kernel from Ubuntu 5.4.0-66(server) to 5.10.19.

$ uname -aLinux os-env 5.4.0-66-generic #74-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jan 27 22:54:38 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I tried using my old config(for server version)

$ cp -v /boot/config-$(uname -r) .config$ make olddefconfig$ make localmodconfig

and the default config.

make menuconfig

The error I keep running into is this error.

Error 24 : Write error : cannot write compressed blockE: mkinitramfs failure cpio 141 lz4 -9 -l 24update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-5.10.19-1 with 1.run-parts: /etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-tools exited with return code 1make[1]: *** [arch/x86/boot/Makefile:160: install] Error 1make: *** [arch/x86/Makefile:278: install] Error 2

I did check my /boot directory and deleted all existing linux images.

As you see below there are no images currently existent on my machine. Images were removed via sudo apt remove and sudo apt pruge command and sudo apt autoremove --purge was used afterwards. Also, because this didn't work I also went ahead and referenced this page which provides a one-line solution to empty your /boot directory.

$ sudo apt list --installed | grep linux-imageWARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.

I also tried increasing the boot directory by creating a new vm, but the maximum space I could give to the /boot directory was 1G(the space I gave the boot directory all along).

Now I'm kinda thinking the problem was using a server version in the first place.. but again this doesn't make too much sense because I tried using existing configs and still failed.

Thanks.
