Running on a laptop with 32GB of RAM. I noticed that my ramdisk was well over 100MB and I was getting this error. I'm not sure what the exact cause is, but I changed these two settings in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf to the following values:

MODULES=dep
COMPRESS=lz4 (requires running "sudo apt install lz4" first)

That decreased the size significantly, but it was still over 100MB. I ultimately had to uninstall the proprietary Nvidia driver and now my ramdisk is down to 60MB and I can boot normally.
