If there are many old kernels in there, you can probably remove the oldest one(s) to make room for newer ones.
I've run into problems where the yum update didn't work because there wasn't enough room in /boot; my notes for updating now include removing old kernels first before running updates.

First off - let me say I am not an administrator. I need to know if there is an easy way to increase my /boot partition. When I installed CentOS 6 after running 5, it was my oversight not to increase the /boot size. it's too small and I can't do yum updates.
if it's not easy to actually increase it, is it safe to take a chunk in my root filesystem (like /new.boot or something) and just mount it as /boot from now on so it uses the space or is that not a good idea? I am sure I could easily copy the rpms/kernel stuff over to it and then unmounts the real /boot and mount this new area as /boot.
Can you administrators let me know what you think of all this? Thanks in advance.
