Before starting with preupgrade, I removed all but the last F11 kernel (this to save space on /boot). But nevertheless, after reboot it said that it needed 0MB of space. Here I did what someone said in a post some minutes earlier: I moved System-map-{kernel-version}, config-{kernel-version} and the efi directory onto / to free more space on /boot and then tried again. This time it completed the upgrade successfully. Germán. -- Germán A.
