After my previous reply, I updated to a newer kernel. It's in /boot but |
24 |
it may be months before I reboot. Anyway, I currently have four kernels |
25 |
in /boot. My current running kernel and two backup kernels plus the new |
26 |
untested one. Whenever I get around to rebooting and the new kernel |
27 |
works fine, I'll remove the oldest one including sources etc. |

I try to keep at least two backup kernels. One reason I do that, the |
30 |
init thingy. I admit dracut is working well for me but given the |
31 |
history I have with those thingys, I want extra protection. The odds of |
32 |
three boot options going bad are pretty slim and if it did happen, I |
33 |
likely have a serious hard drive problem anyway, file system at the very |
34 |
least. Either way, I have a lot to worry about. |

Maybe one of the suggestions mentioned here will help the OP. It seems |
37 |
he is letting the updater do the install or something and the kernel is |
38 |
a fast moving target. One has to have some way, automated or manual, to |
39 |
clean up the unneeded bits. I doubt most anyone makes their /boot to |
40 |
large anyway. Usually 300 or 400MBs is enough. |
