Maybe somehow you installed these kernels without using yum/rpm or you removed the packages and somehow the files were left behind -- maybe you did a backup and restore of /boot or /boot was mounted readonly at the time you did the yum remove / rpm -e or something else (like a fresh re-install without reformatting /boot or somehow else you ended up with /boot out of sync with your rpm DB). Check in /boot/grub/grub.conf -- any kernel shown below that is NOT mentioned in /boot/grub/grub.conf can safely be removed, either with yum (yum remove kernel-<version>), or with rpm (rpm -e kernel-<version>), or with rm (rm /boot/*<version>*). If you do use rm (if all else fails), be sure to look in /lib/modules/<version> and clean this up with rm as well. If you *still* need more space, you can use 'yum remove kernel-<version>' or 'rpm -e kernel-<version>' of additional kernels, don't removing the running kernel! You don't *need* to keep anything but the latest kernel, although it is reasonable to keep the last 2-3 kernels as a safety measure against kernel problems (bugs in the latest kernel or drivers, etc.). > > Todd > > m.roth at 5-cent.us wrote: > >> Is there an easy way to remove unwanted files in the boot partition?
