<br>
Thank you! My boot partition does not have any space available. Now
there are what appears to be many files in there that are not needed,
*but* with my sparse knowledge, I am reluctant to start erasing them.<br>
<br>
Here is a sample:<br>
<br>
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1310809 Mar 17 2008 initrd-2.6.9-67.0.7.EL.img<br>
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1296959 Mar 17 2008
initrd-2.6.9-67.0.7.ELsmp.img<br>
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1310005 Dec 18 2007 initrd-2.6.9-67.EL.img<br>
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1296326 Dec 18 2007 initrd-2.6.9-67.ELsmp.img<br>
<br>
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 759989 Feb 3 2008 System.map-2.6.9-67.0.4.EL<br>
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 776963 Feb 3 2008
System.map-2.6.9-67.0.4.ELsmp<br>
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 760171 Mar 15 2008 System.map-2.6.9-67.0.7.EL<br>
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 777145 Mar 15 2008
System.map-2.6.9-67.0.7.ELsmp<br>
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 759989 Nov 16 2007 System.map-2.6.9-67.EL<br>
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 776963 Nov 16 2007 System.map-2.6.9-67.ELsmp<br>
<br>
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1518757 Feb 3 2008 vmlinuz-2.6.9-67.0.4.EL<br>
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1458782 Feb 3 2008 vmlinuz-2.6.9-67.0.4.ELsmp<br>
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1518936 Mar 15 2008 vmlinuz-2.6.9-67.0.7.EL<br>
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1459052 Mar 15 2008 vmlinuz-2.6.9-67.0.7.ELsmp<br>
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1518693 Nov 16 2007 vmlinuz-2.6.9-67.EL<br>
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1458902 Nov 16 2007 vmlinuz-2.6.9-67.ELsmp<br>
<br>
I would assume that the older vmlinuz files can be removed as well as
the other old files.<br>

Unfortunately, I installed Centos 4 about two years ago on my server
that sits in the corner and does it's job of faithfully providing
services without me touching it except to run a backup script and do a
YUM update every week so. The result is that I have forgotten my
Linux know how!

Out of space? do a df and df -i on the file system and see if the space
looks tight. If so, cleaning out some cruft might help. Also, if /boot
is mounted read-only I guess that could cause it.
