Alternatively, what if I removed the xen stuff to another filesystem and soft linked it back since it apparently is not used in booting the OS?
You can do that.
I just created /usr/local/boot which is on the same partition (file system) and moved there: backup_mbr boot.readme symsets-2.6.36-rc3-10-default.tar.gz symsets-2.6.36-rc3-10-desktop.tar.gz symsets-2.6.36-rc3-10-xen.tar.gz symtypes-2.6.36-rc3-10-default.gz symtypes-2.6.36-rc3-10-desktop.gz symtypes-2.6.36-rc3-10-xen.gz symvers-2.6.36-rc3-10-desktop.gz vmlinux-2.6.36-rc3-10-default.gz vmlinux-2.6.36-rc3-10-desktop.gz vmlinux-2.6.36-rc3-10-xen.gz
That is 16 MB files.
I was in a /boot directory, and run: lndir /usr/local/boot which created symlinks of each file in /usr/local/boot in /boot . For compilation this should be fine and boot is now 17 MB, plus /boot/grub 185 KB.
You can use instead / of your system partition.
I see two issues, at least on my system: 1. /boot and /root are on separate partitions 2. root and all other partitions except /boot are LVM. Thank you, Lucky Leavell -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
