Yum kernel upgrade error

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Admins,

I have started getting the following error emailed to me from one of 
my servers running Fedora Core release 4 (Stentz):

Error: Transaction Check Error:   installing package
kernel-2.6.16-1.2108_FC4 needs 2MB on the /boot filesystem

I had a look and /boot has numerous kernels and System.map files.
..
snip
System.map-2.6.16-1.2096_FC4
System.map-2.6.16-1.2096_FC4smp
System.map-2.6.16-1.2107_FC4
System.map-2.6.16-1.2107_FC4smp

vmlinuz-2.6.15-1.1831_FC4smp
vmlinuz-2.6.15-1.1833_FC4
vmlinuz-2.6.15-1.1833_FC4smp
vmlinuz-2.6.16-1.2069_FC4
vmlinuz-2.6.16-1.2069_FC4smp
vmlinuz-2.6.16-1.2096_FC4
vmlinuz-2.6.16-1.2096_FC4smp
vmlinuz-2.6.16-1.2107_FC4
vmlinuz-2.6.16-1.2107_FC4smp

It looks like yum has been updating the kernel on my system for some 
time. 

I wasn't sure if this was a wise idea? If other admins think this is 
okay, shall I just remove a few of the older kernel file and 
accompanying system.map to allow yum to update the kernel?

Thanx.
Dp.
