Hi, You can also use "preupgrade -it" command instead of "yum". You can resume your upgrading even if you are (for any reason) disconnected from the internet. To fix the insufficient /boot space problem go through the following instruction. I hope this solve your problem completely. First, try to remove any kernel packages not currently in use on your system. The kernel-prune.py script can be used to identify kernels that may be safely removed. If you choose to remove additional kernels, be prepared with installation media should you be unable to return to your previously installed system. The installer will need approximately 26M of free space in /boot. Use the following command to determine the amount of free space in the /boot partition: #df -h /boot To identify kernels that may be safely removed, run the following from a command line: #curl -O 'http://skvidal.fedorapeople.org/misc/kernel-prune.py' #chmod a+x kernel-prune.py #./kernel-prune.py Now, to actually remove the kernel versions listed by the above command, run the following as root: # PKGS=`./kernel-prune.py` # echo $PKGS # yum remove $PKGS Next, adjust the number of reserved filesystem blocks using the command tune2fs. You'll first need to identify the block device for your /boot file system. In the example below, /dev/sda1 is the block device for the /boot filesystem. # mount | grep "/boot" /dev/sda1 on /boot type ext4 (rw) Now, adjust the number of reserved blocks for the /boot filesystem using the command tune2fs. Normally, a small amount of space on ext filesystem formatted partitions is 'reserved' and can only be used by the system administrator; this is to prevent an entirely full partition from rendering a system unbootable, and allow the administrator some space in which to work in order to clean up 'full' partitions. However, neither of this cases really applies to the /boot filesystem, so removing this reserved space is safe. # tune2fs -r 0 /dev/sda1 Last, try removing unnecessary files from the /boot filesystem. This will largely depend on how your system is set up. Removing the incorrect files may result in a unbootable system. Some candidates for removal include /boot/efi and /boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz.
