Now I'm confused again. :) The first two responses indicate that if /boot doesn't have enough free space, eventually, the upgrade will fail. Your response indicates that this is not the case. As it stands, I got the error message even after removing all old kernels from /boot. Also, as per my earlier posts, I'm under the impression that you need about 116M or a bit more, free space in /boot for various images to work successfully. I have plenty of free space on the hard drive, it's only /boot that is limited. So, if I try preupgrade, /boot is on a separate partition, and has a limited amount of space, but the remainder of the disk has plenty of free space, will preupgrade fail or succeed? I realize from the responses that, to my chagrin, I did what I accuse newcomers of doing on the forum, and didn't give enough information in the beginning. /boot is limited. The rest of the disk, currently holding the F10 installation, has close to 100 GB of free space. The rest of the disk is on a single / partition, which wasn't the best way to do it, but I don't really remember if I had a reason or just missed it during installation. I thank all of you for your patience and apologize for not being clear in my earlier posts. (So, at this point, I don't want to comment on the bug, because I'm still not quite sure what the message should be.) (I'll be going to sleep shortly, so may not respond again till tomorrow.)
