Uprgrade to 9.0 breaks Up2Date Kernel Upgrade?

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

 



Greetings – I have had this happen on each system that I’ve done an upgrade from an earlier version of Redhat to Redhat 9.0 – when I subsequently run up2date it complains that there isn’t enough space on /boot to upgrade the kernel to the latest version.  I’ve read other posts that suggest removing older kernel versions – but, on these systems there aren’t any older kernels.  The upgrade isn’t critical, but I’d like to get a handle on it before it becomes critical.  Any suggestions??

 

Test install failed because of package conflicts:

installing package kernel-smp-2.4.20-20.9 needs 566KB on the /boot filesystem
