How much more space do you need to complete the upgrade? You *might* be
able to move the current uncompressed kernel (typically
vmlinux-[kernel-version]) elsewhere for the moment along with any other old
kernel versions still in /boot. Just remember to leave the working version
that you booted from. Don't know if this would free up enough space or not.
For reasons of my own, I typically make /boot ( or just / if there's no
/boot) around 150 - 200Mb. Disk drives are pretty inexpensive these days
and if you're that tight on space it's time to think about buying another
disk drive.
