Installing KMP on TW can lead to "/boot/efi: file not found"

[TobiPeterG]

Hi there,

I just updated one of my TW instances and got this error when installing a KMP:

(1767/2493) Installieren: xpad-noone-kmp-liquorix-0.1.0_k6.15.7_lqx1_2-3.124.x86_64 ..................................[fertig]
/boot/efi: file not found

However, it doesn't always happen.

For the next one I saw:

(1768/2493) Installieren: xone-kmp-liquorix-0.3+git.d88ea1e_k6.14.11_lqx1_2-4.113.x86_64 .............................[fertig]

So appearently there was not enough free space on the ESP leading to this error?
Anyway, I guess this situation should be catched.

Yes, lookls like it. But that's not a suse-module-tools issue AFAICT. Adding @aplanas .

[aplanas]

suse-module-tools calls sdbootutil in some situations, like when a new kernel is installed or when a new initrd needs to be created because a module installation.

sdbootutil try its best to free space in the ESP before installing the new kernel and/or initrd, but seems that in this case it fail badly. Can you get the logs and move the issue into the sdbootutil project? Making the new kernel / initrd installable is a very critical feature, so this is kind of a big deal.
