Apart from that, the OP mentioned explicitly that up2date had been used to install all the kernels. Starting with removing files from /boot manually is a poor recommendation. Who would delete the kernel modules in /lib? They take a lot of space there. If erasing old kernel packages didn't free up enough space in /boot, *then* the next step should be to examine the contents of /boot. - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/RmLp0iMVcrivHFQRAp3rAJ9x3O3hi0ExZ18o73r3pw+KZ/WYGACfSnnr AoEDxZWH9o4X1VuEhpaUamI= =lDcK -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
