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.
I just added 5.3.18-lp152-20.7-default to a 15.2 system, which consumed ~39MB on /boot. 9 kernels live in this /boot. Total space consumed by /boot is 1.0GiB.
Oh really?
He's using 15.2...
