Detail

Hi All,

upon upgrading from 2.4.50 to 2.4.60, the upgrade process fails due to lack of space in the /boot partition. it says it needs 7mb.
i ls this directory and i found files with versions and with early dates which i think are there because no cleaning is done after setup.
i have moved files that i think i do not need and it helped solving the problem eventually.

Regards,
Udi

If your system was originally installed with an ISO image from before 2.4.40, the the /boot partition should be 512MB. Starting in our 2.4.40 ISO image, the /boot partition is set to 1GB to help avoid this issue.

You should be able to remove old kernel packages to free up space if necessary.
