Here is my /boot directory:

Each of those is nearly twice the size of mine (32bit on Intel CPU & chipset). The pair combine to use about 30% of total /boot space.
Are everyone's 64bit initrds that much bigger than 32 bit?
It seems so: drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2010-09-13 22:45 ./ drwxr-xr-x 25 root root 4096 2010-09-18 04:32 ../ -rw------- 1 root root 512 2010-08-06 21:03 backup_mbr lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 1 2010-08-06 20:54 boot -> ./ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1236 2010-07-01 13:57 boot.readme -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 115775 2010-09-04 01:55 config-2.6.36-rc3-10-desktop drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-09-04 18:24 grub/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 2010-09-04 18:24 initrd -> initrd-2.6.36-rc3-10-desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11112236 2010-09-04 18:24 initrd-2.6.36-rc3-10-desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 418816 2010-08-06 21:03 message -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 172759 2010-09-04 02:10 symsets-2.6.36-rc3-10-default.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 172179 2010-09-04 02:03 symsets-2.6.36-rc3-10-desktop.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 167878 2010-09-04 02:06 symsets-2.6.36-rc3-10-xen.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 548868 2010-09-04 02:09 symtypes-2.6.36-rc3-10-default.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 548745 2010-09-04 02:01 symtypes-2.6.36-rc3-10-desktop.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 536946 2010-09-04 02:05 symtypes-2.6.36-rc3-10-xen.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 195626 2010-09-04 01:57 symvers-2.6.36-rc3-10-desktop.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2057614 2010-09-04 01:42 System.map-2.6.36-rc3-10-desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4611073 2010-09-04 02:01 vmlinux-2.6.36-rc3-10-default.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4871507 2010-09-04 01:55 vmlinux-2.6.36-rc3-10-desktop.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4241317 2010-09-04 01:59 vmlinux-2.6.36-rc3-10-xen.gz lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 2010-09-04 18:23 vmlinuz -> vmlinuz-2.6.36-rc3-10-desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4198192 2010-09-04 01:42 vmlinuz-2.6.36-rc3-10-desktop There is only one kernel that one can boot, all other is development stuff installed to compile kernel modules.
