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.
Here is a sample:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1310809 Mar 17 2008 initrd-2.6.9-67.0.7.EL.img -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1296959 Mar 17 2008 initrd-2.6.9-67.0.7.ELsmp.img -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1310005 Dec 18 2007 initrd-2.6.9-67.EL.img -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1296326 Dec 18 2007 initrd-2.6.9-67.ELsmp.img
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 759989 Feb 3 2008 System.map-2.6.9-67.0.4.EL -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 776963 Feb 3 2008 System.map-2.6.9-67.0.4.ELsmp -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 760171 Mar 15 2008 System.map-2.6.9-67.0.7.EL -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 777145 Mar 15 2008 System.map-2.6.9-67.0.7.ELsmp -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 759989 Nov 16 2007 System.map-2.6.9-67.EL -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 776963 Nov 16 2007 System.map-2.6.9-67.ELsmp
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1518757 Feb 3 2008 vmlinuz-2.6.9-67.0.4.EL -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1458782 Feb 3 2008 vmlinuz-2.6.9-67.0.4.ELsmp -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1518936 Mar 15 2008 vmlinuz-2.6.9-67.0.7.EL -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1459052 Mar 15 2008 vmlinuz-2.6.9-67.0.7.ELsmp -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1518693 Nov 16 2007 vmlinuz-2.6.9-67.EL -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1458902 Nov 16 2007 vmlinuz-2.6.9-67.ELsmp
I would assume that the older vmlinuz files can be removed as well as the other old files.
---- the proper way to handle the removal is via rpm
rpm -e kernel-2.6.9-67.EL kernel-2.6.9-67.ELsmp
