The situation:
/dev/sda[abcd] exist. /dev/sda1 is a bog-standard ext4, 150MB, mounted on /boot
Surely you cannot need all the kernels that must be installed to exhaust all the space on a 150MB /boot filesystem. How many are there? 2 should be enough.
But for an instant, during an update, there are three.
Well, maybe.
I know there are three for an instant :-D
You have two. You run an update, you get three. Then you boot, and the purge-kernel process you mention removes one.
He is not the first person to be bitten by a too small /boot. Mine has 1 gig (75 megs used). Should last for a decade :-p
Why does anybody have /boot in a spearate partition these days? MY kernels and initrds are on the root filesystem, where the installer put them.
Me, tradition :-) But there are combinations that, AFAIK, still need a separate /boot. LVM, some RAIDs... -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)
