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
