[Bug 258563] New: kernel-default-2.6.18.8-01 too big
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=258563 Summary: kernel-default-2.6.18.8-01 too big Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: ensonic@sonicpulse.de QAContact: qa@suse.de installing the above mentioned package fails with the error that it can't apply the delta becasue it needs 7 Mb. The problem is that it installs the new kernel headers and some modules anyway. On next boot I have no sound anymore and my gfx driver (nvidia) does not load. Beside that it is really painful that the update forgets to reinstall the Nvidia driver each time, this whole thing should not happen. The delta is probably not meant to be applied inplace. What about doing that on a temp place and then copying the files. There wont be more space on /boot. After all this system configuration is what the installed once suggested.

This seems to be a problem in handling the update of kernel package under the condition of too few available space below /boot. Current minimal size for /boot is 64 MB but of course this has no relevance for existing systems installed at times where kernel and initrd were only a fraction of current size. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

The boot partition is "/dev/hdb4 on /boot type ext2 (rw)". The corresponding grub-bootentry is: title openSUSE 10.2 root (hd1,3) kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hdb2 vga=0x346 resume=/dev/hdb1 splash=silent initrd /initrd Should it work, if I disable mounting /dev/hdb4 in /etc/fstab and copying the content of /boot onto the root partition? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

But it's ugly solution and it'll be probably messed after next update. For the update bug please attach y2logs.

This seems to be a problem in handling the update of kernel package under the condition of too few available space below /boot.
Right. It seems that we should - detect this condition before the rpms will be messed up - tell the user how to solve it, presumably by moving /boot to the root partition -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=258563 ------- Comment #9 from ensonic@sonicpulse.de 2007-04-26 23:38 MST ------- I was lucky that preceeding my /boot partition I had my swapp partition. So I downloaded gparted live cd and changed the partitioning. I guess I can live with swapp beeing 25 mb less :). I have a working system again now.

The enhancement part of it would be that the installer (updater) figures if it could safly migrate the too-small boot partition.... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=258563 ------- Comment #22 from fehr@novell.com 2007-05-15 09:22 MST ------- Current values yast2 uses for boot is 64M for a standard system. For ia64 it is 200M. There are smaller values for various ppc flavours but these do not have real filesystem on their boot partition. Since newer kernel updates tend to leave old initrd and kernel images in /boot this might very well too small nowadays. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
