Folks:

        I'm trying to upgrade the kernel version on my laptop. 
Currently, it has the default RH 7.2 kernel (v. 2.4.7-10). However, 
there's a bug in the PnP Bios for that kernel that prevents the 
built-in soundcard on my IBM Thinkpad from working. The new kernel 
version (2.4.18) is supposed to solve the problem.

        Anyway, I've downloaded and installed the updated (most 
recent, stable kernel) 2.4.18. I un-tarred the archive in my /home 
directory. The compile seemed to go well, as did the "make 
modules_install". However, I've got a problem:

        I tried to copy ("mv", then "cp") the new compiled/configured 
kernel to the /boot directory. It seemed to work, but the entry is 
not correct. It reads:

-rwxr-xr-x  1  root    0 July 23 15:28 linux_2.4.18-laptop

        When I try to cp it again, I get the following error:

"cp: writing /boot/linux_2.4.18-laptop' : No space left on device"

        This seems wrong/bogus. I'm only using just over half of my 
hard drive space, and I don't have any special partitioning of this 
directory, or the hard disk. Any suggestions?
