Wow, that was nasty! I pulled a zypper dup a few hours ago and it completely borked my 12.3 system. Zipper failed with three kernel debug models that ran out of space in /boot. Since I had issues with reiserfs some years ago I've been configuring /boot as a 100-MB ext2 filesystem. Alas, 100-MB is no longer big enough!
When I first started multibooting with Linux I was going by RedHat's minimum supported /boot size of about 70M. Not terribly long after that I shifted to 200M. A year or so ago I upped again, to 400M. Of course, each /boot on mine are just a directory in each /. It's the real boot partition, which I never mount to /boot, that I make 400M. It provides a home for a master Grub and a number of installation kernels and initrds for doing HTTP installations. I only put regular operating kernels & initrds there on RAID systems, by copying them there from where the various package systems put them. As to usage of /boot, the 13.1 I currently have booted has two installed kernels, 5 initrds, contains none of Grub2 (Legacy only), and consumes 57,343 1024kb blocks, or about 55MB. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
