Nicolas,
Does someone use a bananapi on centos ? I'm using it for a long time, and I'm still on 4.2 kernel. Every time I try to install a newer I got a lot of errors during install, or yum get stuck on "cleaning..". The last time I success to install it, it's not very stable...
looks like you ran into the problem with a too small /boot partition. I had that problem too. Increasing the size of the /boot partition to about 10G solves the problem. This is a problem of the Centos installation image. I believe Robert had the same issue.
Catching up. Was off on another project, writing a guide to build an ECDSA PKI....
Yes, I hit the out of space.
What we need is for someone to fix the update-boot script to rip out old kernels. We are use to this with the mainline platforms. We should get it here. Also Fedora-arm has it...

Welcome to OSS ! "submit patch" [TM] :-)
To do that I would have to:
Know what files are related to a kernel Know how to identify the oldest kernel, or rather which kernels are the older of N kernels. Know how to, in a script, parameterize the selection of a kernel and all its files
And I come up empty on all the above. I can write simple scripts, and Professor Goggle is good at giving me short lessons to, at times, expand my horizons.
But this is not something I am going to tackle. I will just put up with things as they are.
WRT larger /boot partition, that's fixable in the templates used by the tool that will generate new images, but of course that will not fix the issue for people using previous images.
And, for the most part, when I lay down an image on a HD, I use gparted on my notebook to expand both the root and the boot partitions. For some reason, on ONE system I did not increase the boot partition...
