I have 4 kernels in /boot, leaving on 20MB which is not enough for the next one.
I had installonly_limit= set at 5, as there were some kernel problems. After I got the error that there was not enough room for another kernel, I set installonly_limit= to 3 and did the update with --exclude=kernel*
That worked to update everything else, but not remove the oldest kernel.
How can I remove the oldest kernel to make room for the new one?
yum remove kernel-3.10.0-862.2.3.el7.x86_64 # or whatever the name is.
For the YOLO approach
yum remove $( rpm -q kernel | sort -n | head -n 2 )
That should work currently (though a safer method might be done).. I am not sure if it will correctly deal with kernel-3.10.0-1234.5.6.el7.x86_64 someday
