I have 4 kernels in /boot, leaving on 20MB which is not enough for the

I had installonly_limit= set at 5, as there were some kernel problems.
After I got the error that there was not enough room for another kernel,
I set installonly_limit= to 3 and did the update with --exclude=kernel*

That worked to update everything else, but not remove the oldest kernel.

How can I remove the oldest kernel to make room for the new one?

yum install yum-utils

Already installed.

package-cleanup --oldkernels --count=3

replace the count with however many you want to leave on the system.

That picked up 110MB and now I have enough room for installing the new kernel.

Thanks.
