      For VMs created from KVM Guest Image, kdump initramfs contains more i18n related files.

      # du -sh initramfs/squash/usr/lib/kbd/*
      438K    initramfs/squash/usr/lib/kbd/consolefonts
      340K    initramfs/squash/usr/lib/kbd/consoletrans
      2.1M    initramfs/squash/usr/lib/kbd/keymaps
      232K    initramfs/squash/usr/lib/kbd/unimaps

       

      The normal initramfs should include less files:

      # du -sh initramfs/squash/usr/lib/kbd/*
      11K     initramfs/squash/usr/lib/kbd/consolefonts
      121K    initramfs/squash/usr/lib/kbd/keymaps 

      This is because `/etc/vconsole.conf` is missing:

      # cat /etc/vconsole.conf 
      KEYMAP="us"
      FONT="eurlatgr" 

      The initramfs size will be reduced by ~3M if we can fix this issue.
