Low Disk Space on"boot"
The volume "boot" has only 20.9 MB disk space remaining.

I'm only keeping 2 old kernels now.  I did not do anything to shrink /boot.  What has grown so much recently?  What do I delete?

Here's what's in /boot:
-----
-bash.2[~]: ls -alS /boot

You think you're only keeping 2 kernels, but you definitely have a full 3 kernels there (plus the rescue one). Your /boot partition is too small, but if you actually reduce it down to 2 kernels, you should be fine.

You could also probably migrate the /boot directory into /, but without having a live USB option, that might be a bit risky.
