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.
I guess it is a bit easier than that, we have a package manager for this!
find the installed kernel packages and remove the ones you don't want any more. If you always want only x kernels installed, have a look at "installonly_limit" in yum.conf
I just checked and it is set to 5 for the Cubieboard image. And this is too high for that 500MB boot partition, it seems.
I would recommend everyone turn it down to 3, as Fabian has been doing well with kernels.... :)
Not sure which kernel we're talking about, but if this is the raspberry rpm, there used to be a 'post' script in the rpm what makes a initrd file after install. these initrd things are not used during boot (on a raspberry at least). Removing those will also save you ~ 25M per kernel version. better yet, adjust the spec file to not make them :)
