I just installed the new kernel on one of my Cubieboard2s. /boot used grew ~130MB.

Challenge is that my next board to update only has 43MB free. It currently has 3 kernels on it.

Is there a way to cleanly delete old kernel files prior to the update? In this case 4.9.30-203?

Are you meaning something like this?

[smooge@smoogen-laptop ~]$ rpm -q kernel
kernel-3.10.0-693.21.1.el7.x86_64
kernel-3.10.0-862.el7.x86_64
kernel-3.10.0-862.2.3.el7.x86_64
kernel-3.10.0-862.3.2.el7.x86_64
kernel-3.10.0-891.el7.x86_64
[smooge@smoogen-laptop ~]$ uname -a # to see what you have running
Linux smoogen-laptop.localdomain 3.10.0-891.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon May
21 14:10:11 EDT 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
$ sudo rpm -e kernel-3.10.0-693.21.1.el7.x86_64
kernel-3.10.0-862.el7.x86_64 kernel-3.10.0-862.2.3.el7.x86_64

rpm -e kernel-4.9.30-203.el7.armv7hl

Did nothing.  Just came back to the # prompt.  And no reduction in space used in /boot and no change in 'ls /boot'.  Or at least what I noticed.
